The fuel of the future may come from inside us something we thought of as disgusting wast

e is warming and powering homes as I write this .In the UK a major project is all ready taking effect quote and whole story from © 2010 PhysOrg.com "The entire process takes less than three weeks, with the sewage being collected and sent first to settlement tanks. The solid waste material is then fed into digesters, where anaerobic bacteria digest the sewage, with the aid of enzymes to speed up the process. The digestion process generates methane, which can be burned to drive turbines and produce electricity, or can be purified and fed into the gas network and piped to homes and businesses. British Gas says supplying the gas rather than electricity is far more efficient since around two-thirds of the energy is lost in electricity generation." In the USA a small company in California is experimenting with the process but need more poo.

"A fuel we all make everyday, human waste today we are happy to support poo to keep it out of the river and powering our homes sounds like a winner for all way to go UK.
