The BBC yesterday had an article about a trial in Didcot where human waste will be diverted from the normal sewage pipes into anaerobic digesters, which will then convert it into bio-methane. This in turn will be pumped into 130 homes as a replacement for natural gas - and if all goes well, the customers won't notice the difference.
But it got me thinking - the government has just started the feed-in tariff scheme, whereby a home which produces excess electricity can feed it into the National Grid and receive a decent price for it. Surely then, if your house is hooked up to an anaerobic digester then this is also a "feed-in" scheme, since you will be contributing to the country's resources.
Therefore, you should be remunerated for your sewage. The more you poo, the more money you receive.
After one of my infamous pots of chilli, I'll make a fortune!
