Human waste powered incinerator / generator
I read this article about a North Carolina waste treatment facility looking into using human waste as a fuel for an incinerator / generator. However, it was dated 2010.

Quite interesting, I had no idea poo had that kind of energy density... So, I googled up the latest info on it and it seems like they're going ahead with things. At the very least the idea is still there. The article doesn't have a lot of new info unfortunately. 1.9 mW doesn't seem like a ton of power. I wonder how many homes the wastewater plant serves?

A small FAQ sheet can be found on the company's website here: http://www.wsacc.org/vertical/sites/...y_FLYER_V4.pdf The sheet states that the plant will be online in early 2013 which is just about anytime now.
