Alternative Energy?!

OK, this is just strange. The town of Umeå in Sweden is going to begin burning chicken carcasses- about 9,000 annually- in order to help heat the town. The relationship is eerily symbiotic: the power plant will take dead chickens from egg producers and burn them, aiding the farmers in getting rid of bodies in a healthy way and helping people stay warm through the Nordic winter. It works, but somehow still unsettling on some level.
