Cooking Your Food with Dog Poop

Tuesday, February 21, 2006

Dog Poop DispenserKim Curtis of the Associated Press writes today that the City of San Francisco is launching a pilot project that could have residents powering their ranges with dog poop gas.

They're going to send a team of dog poop collectors into one of its popular dog parks and haul the pieces of canine caca to a special poo-poo fermentation facility. There the bacteria will fester and produce and methane gas.

The gas then gets piped into peoples' homes for domestic use.

However, Curtis went on to report that this solution is too expensive to be effective:
Some experts believe methane digestion must become more attractive economically before it gets popular. Landfill space is relatively cheap, and natural gas and electricity also remain fairly inexpensive.
Not to forget the costs of hiring dog poop collectors!

  • It's like nuclear breeder reactor. It works well on paper but is incredibly expensive and generally doesn't work in real life. It was an excellent idea but a little before its time to shine.
