ALERT!All of you at DU, Our energy problems are solved!
No more need for oil.No more wars and, best of all no more Republicans!
What I propose is the development of a genetically engineered horse!
This horse should be able to do 80 MPH on a bag of oats and have a range of 600 miles.I am sure there are enough ingenious DU bioengineers who can meet this challenge!

The only problem we will have to contend with is how to dispose of the massive amounts of horses--t that will pile up along our highways.But for a population used to dealing with massive amount of
Republican horsemanure,day in and day out, this should not pose a problem.

3. Reminds me of a history of NYC and the horse

What would be cool is if human could fly. Damn that evolution not giving a leg up to birds!

4. That's a great idea.
Did you know that if the human body used gasoline as fuel we'd get 900 miles per gallon on a bike?

And we get as much energy out of a pound of butter as there is in three pounds of TNT.

5. Yes, but it's not smart to play God with genetic engineering
It creates all sorts of problems.

Sorry. Just playing devil's advocate.
