No, literally.
A revolutionary renewable power scheme dubbed ‘Poopy Power’ could provide cheap heat for Britain, it emerged today.
Britain’s first commercial-scale venture to convert canine excrement into bio-gas that can be used to power a turbine is set be unveiled after three years of development work.
Flintshire-based firm Streetkleen is the brainchild of Gary Downie, a former Manhatten (sic) banker now living in Cheshire, who has persuaded an unnamed English local authority to get involved…
Despite using animal faeces, Mr Downie insists it is odour free and can operate on as little as 500kg of waste a day, generating 200,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year…
Mr Downie added: ‘There has been a lot of interest and we’re talking to councils now in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.’
Well, of course. In those places, who would notice the difference?
So, when your pooch leaves a deposit, will you scoop it up and bring it in for a deposit?
I asssume that the environmentally conscious Michael Bloomberg will want to get in on this great idea ASAP, so you should start making your donations directly to him. He’s always in a hurry, so you’ll probably need to throw them.
