Sometimes I am amazed by the things that ingenious people come up with. I don’t have much to say about this that the article won’t convey, other than to say that is people like these that make our world a better place to live in. Behold, MSU may soon begin powering their campus with poop:
Waste may power MSU: Campus considers using human, animal biosolids as energy source
EAST LANSING – Michigan State University officials are working on a deal to keep a possible alternative energy source from being flushed away.
The university is in talks with Toledo-based N-Viro International Corp. to mix solid human and animal waste with coal to make fuel for MSU’s T.B. Simon Power Plant.
The ultimate goal is to find a cost-effective way to reduce MSU’s carbon dioxide emissions, said Bob Ellerhorst, director of utilities at the university.
Are they accepting donations? It would be an honor to be able to say you helped support an alternative energy project at MSU.
