Here's the story from Yahoo/Reuters Plant to Make Clean Power from Turkey Droppings
That gets me thinking...Why can't they make one of these for human droppings? That would combine our sewer treatment and power plant infrastructures.
Also, during times when extra power is needed, like prime A/C time in the summer, they can hire people to 'create' more energy. This would provide a whole new workforce of people that were previsouly useless!
Imagine, row upon row of stalls where scores of couch potatoes could sit in comfort and read the newspaper and do their "duty" for their country! How great is that!
