Now, That's REALLY A "Renewable Resource"

By

I was perusing the news this morning and, on CNN, came across an article on something Sintex Industries, a plastics and textiles manufacturer in Gujarat, India, is doing to deal with both human waste and the need for energy.  

If this turns out to be really feasible, I can't wait for it to get to the U.S.!  

Now, it's true that some here might have some issues with doing this at home (some people can't even deal with the idea of a septic tank), but if governmental buildings, schools, and such got on board successfully, this could go a long way towards solving some of our energy needs with a renewable resource that isn't, after all, going to go away as long as there are human beings on the planet, and also towards solving the obvious problem of dealing with our waste products.  

I'll be watching this one carefully, you can count on it!

The idea of human waste might be gross, but the truth is it's part of life! Interesting thought on recycling it.

Lindsey, absolutely true!  It's there, it's NOT going away, and we need to think of innovative ways to deal with the problem.  This solution appears to take the problem and turn it into a positive, and I can't argue with that!
