so they take the never-ending supply of turkey shit, convert it into power, then resell the byproduct from burning as fertilizer..

good stuff!

oh god this is amazing. imagine a world depending on turkeys o.O

[contemporarymonk]

they probably spend the same amount of energy as they produce due to transportation of shit on those semies. might as well burn the disel in the trucks tank to make energy.
