Scientists discover free energy source to replace oil

Scientists have discovered a new, free and completely renewable source of energy that may end world dependence on oil once and for all.

It is called "political backlash steam" (PBS), and in spite of the fact that it is not exactly "refined", it remains far less pollutant than traditional energy sources.

The discovery was made by accident after the publication this week of Sir Christopher Meyer's memoirs. Scientists observed how the former US ambassador's diary provoked an instant heated reaction among politicians, which soon had sparks flying all over the foreign office and Number 10.

Professor Loup E. de Loupe, of the National University of Technology and Science (NUTS) , was inspired to think of ways this energy could be harnessed and transformed into electricity.

"We decided to experiment by placing foreign secretary Jack Straw, secretary of state John Prescott and other political pygmies in a sealed chamber, and read out extracts of Sir Christopher's diary to them over a speaker system," he said.

Within minutes, it was observed that the temperature within the chamber had risen by almost 180%.

"When we got to the part about John Major's underwear, Jack Straw alone was generating enough steam to singlehandedly power the whole of New York city for at least a month", said Prof. de Loupe. "The amount of steam increased dramatically when senior diplomats, including Sir Michael Jay, were added to the chamber."

The UK has revealed plans to build an entirely new generation of power stations fuelled exclusively by PBS.

"Among the technology's many advantages is the fact that politicians will be removed from their present positions, and placed in controlled environments where they can actually do something useful for a change," said one analyst.

"Besides, because of the abundance of political gaffes and embarrassments known to senior civil servants, the supply of future memoirs through which this energy can be unleashed is practically boundless."
