UK Prepares to Use Human Poop to Power Homes.
I have to admit that when I first read this headline it sounded to me like some Southpark joke, but no! Finally the Water World kind of future is getting close.
Sewage had been used as fuel by the Chinese to generate power and bath water was said to be heated with biogas in Assyria in the 10th century BC. This time poop is being used to obtain completely renewable electricity — as long as we keep eating — I wonder if it works best with vegan poop or regular. Well, at least scientists are not considering how to get water from our own poops... Yet.
