This is not new technology, people in India have been doing this for decades. Seen it with my own eyes.

Can human crap do the same?

[AkiraBergman]

@baburo101 Yes. Just Google it.

[baburo101]

@baburo101

what's google?

@baburo101 "Can human crap do the same?"

I think it can but less efficiently.

It's probably better with vegetable eating animal waste. The amount from cows are far bigger too.

But who knows, human waste maybe considered good alternative energy source in the future.

I heard somewhere that the European e-coli scare was traced back to a bio-reactor that was being used to also fertilize fields afterwords, I hope the Ugandans take precautions to not taint their food supply or feed into the creation of more dangerous virus's and bacteria through natural selection. I am happy they can cook, and I hope this technology gets developed further and improved.

This is new to us but has been around for hundreds of years. If you like this green energy try this, coil a hose then cover it with a compost heap when you run water through it the exiting temp should be ~180 degrees F. You can shower or run that water through a radiant heating device either in your concrete floor or a radiator with a fan. We might have a future with homes so efficient we could get rid of the grid.

It's like a RTS. You have to harass the harvesters with Rape units... oh well. I think this is a bit out of line.

@BabyIYours

just because a group of people know about birth control and contraception doesn't mean they will use it. the bible has several passages that says "do not fornicate." who the heck pays that any mind?

[intuitiveexplorer]

hope they have water to wash their hands off

[Hughganaught]

If they can develope a less labor intensive way to process this gas,,, But hey, the cowboy always said, "its just green grass and water."

[Nightzo]

@Hughganaught

They could train their cows to shit in the machine

[Hughganaught]

@Nightzo That would be cool.
