Poo Power,Fertilizer for crops or forests!
God knows, everything does it, some more, some less but instead of relegating it to a Victorian no-no to speak about, let’s chat. Why not make every City or Municipality wastewater treatment center into a methane generator. Some farmers have already made the switch, some companies also. What we once considered waste could be turned into power and if treated properly ink of it pooping for power, yes, I'll have some more veggies thanks!

Give dairy, beef, pork and any other farm which has the capacity to become energy self sufficient a state & federal tax credit to impliment a methane generator, the "de methaned poo" is a great fertilizer which the farmer may whsh to turn back into his grazing field to expand his yeald of feed or richness of pastureland.

I'm all for it, but Natural Gas or Liquid Coal is one of the answers to high gasoline prices, Natural Gas will work, and there are companies that can turn the engines that can run on a few different fuel sources.

Don't forget about hydrogen! This gas is easily made. The excuse when fuel was $2.50 was that it would cost 3.50 a gallon to produce hydrogen. The price doesn't sound so bad now! When there is more green electricity produced this could potentially lower electricity costs. Hydrogen is the future wind power is now!
