12. Methane-powered golf cart
Live in a gated community and don't want to use your gas guzzler to get around? How about driving with poo-power? This methane vehicle (methane comes from cow-dung) is, sadly, still experimental though, so you'll have to wait a bit longer.

The 'biolets' have been around for years and might not be a bad idea. The mess with the hand washing at the back of the toilet tank had to be figured out by a guy. No woman would think of having it that way--cleaning the toilet and breakdown of water to the subfloor from extra splashes on the floor would be nightmarish. Now, if they would think of extending the piece just thouugh tubing or ceramics to have a sink a couple of feet away, this might be plausable. As it stands, many women and children would have a time not getting the toilet wet for the next user-what a mess. I love the ideas of steam cleaning clothing, I do so for wools, and the like, but having moved to hard water haven, I am not sure that anything worthy of investing in, would be cost-efficient due to the replacement problems constantly. Not only gated communities, but areas in town where the speed limit is max 35 mph as well. I've thought about getting a BobCat or something similar for local trips. Cheap, uses little, very little fuel, but must see what is legal. The city uses them, but can the residents?
