Title: All Aboard the Poo Bus!
Post by: Ben on March 29, 2015, 11:01:13 AM: The UK Poo Bus, which runs on methane. The interesting part of the article for me was, though I knew methane was a somewhat inefficient fuel, I didn't know it was quite this inefficient (if the article example is accurate):

It can travel up to 186 miles on one tank of gas, which takes the annual waste of around five people to produce.

You need five people to poop for a year so you can drive less than 200 miles. :laugh:

I have faith that our politicians can legislate a fecal-power bus of much less efficiency. If we all defecate together, we can surely close the crap gap!

I'm thinking if they can pass legislation that requires only poop from DC be used, we'd actually greatly increase efficiency. Politicians poop potent poo.

True. Of course, the bus would be an express straight to hell, with no stops.

You're asking that in the wrong forum. You want the Bartertown forum.

Many of those places are setting up static power plants to power their facilities.

I know of a few dairy barns in WI, haven't heard of swine facilities yet.
