NYC CONSIDERS USING POOP TO

HEAT HOMES
Has San Francisco found a solution to its public poop
epidemic?

New York City is considering using poop to fuel stoves and


heat homes.
Under an ambitious “green” initiative, NYC’s Bureau of Wastewater
Treatment may convert poop into methane gas that will initially
power 5,000 homes as part of the city’s effort to “combat climate
change.”
“It’s clean, it’s green, and it’s local,” said Pam Elardo, deputy
commissioner for the Bureau of Wastewater Treatment, according to
the New York Post.
Apparently the National Grid power company intends to take vapor
already produced at a treatment plant, remove moisture and carbon
dioxide, then convert it to methane gas.
“It’s very exciting,” added Elardo while describing the city’s fecal
collection “a valuable commodity.”
“We’re taking a locally sourced natural carbon and making a gas
product that is environmentally sustainable.”
Of course, this brings to mind a certain scene from Mad Max Beyond
Thunderdome:
The city has a lot of poop; last year, Alabama residents were
outraged over the smell of a parked freight train carrying poop from
New York City that was destined for a nearby landfill.
The train was parked near the city for over two months before it was
finally emptied.
Ironically enough, given NYC’s “green” agenda, the city has been
shipping poop to landfills across the country because apparently
NYC’s high environmental fees and business costs prevent use of
New York landfills.
A Solution for San Francisco?
San Francisco is struggling with massive amounts of poop in public
places due to the city’s growing homeless population as its housing
costs continue to skyrocket.
In response, an iOS app called ‘SnapCrap’ was released that allows
residents to snap photos of crap on sidewalks and submit them
directly to the city’s Public Works Department for disposal.
But what will the city do with this excess waste? Could San Francisco
simply recycle this waste into methane gas, thereby turning into the
Thunderdome of the West Coast?
