this fat tub ofard needs to be converted into a battery cell like The Matrix

Have they discovered how to convert lard into electricity? Doesn't seem very possible.

Lard is quite energy dense (which is what it was designed to be). It's easy to make anything that gives off a good amount of heat (via combustion or fission) into electricity.

Burn fatty well. Use the heat to boil water. Use the steam produced to spin a turbine connected to a generator.

Hell, the hardest part would be preventing soot buildup (fatties have a lot of impurities that would NOT burn clean.)

nah bro. the heat energy of the massive life form is converted and tapped into the grid.
