Pooptacular
We all know the oil crisis is coming. We're even at war over it already. But scientists are working on a partial solution: converting pig feces into crude oil. Now, even if this works, and even if it doesn't require more energy to do than can be gotten out of the crude (raising pigs, harvesting/transporting and converting feces), that doesn't solve the pollution problem. And more money spent on this business is less spent on really renewable energy sources.
