By god, I think he's being funny!

He's always funny. The only difference this time, is it's intentional.

lol - he seems to have lightened up A LOT lately! Maybe you're right - he got a girlfriend.

I'm developing a major crush on the t-dub. ;)

T-dub + Shawnee = perverted science.

God is not involved.

Personally I make really big fires in my outdoor fireplace in my back yard. http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img1936zu7.jpg

Alternative energy from 1922....

You can call us t-shawn. That's what the tabloids will be calling us anyway. :p

This is still being done today in many sewage treatment plants.

Many? Really? The few cases I've heard of, in the last few years, seem to herald it as the latest, unique, cutting edge.

Bruce, you have a good point. I should not have made that statement without numbers to back up "many." I'm searching for data.

Edit:

I just called NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority), who are just in the process of completing a survey of waste water treatment in that state. In NY, about 140 treatment plants use anaerobic digestion to treat waste and about 10% of those are generating electricity from the gas produced. I'm awaiting a call back so I can find out how much electricity is being produced and what the others are doing with the AD gas. I'm also trying to find a national source, so I don't have to call every state's energy department.

Remember Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome? The whole city ran on pig-shit.

Good, cuz I think "A-Shawn-t" is taken.

Thanks for the edit info, very interesting. I know they are doing this on some large farms in Vermont, with seed money from the state.
