I am not a scientist but I do know some basic facts. Fact #1 We are facing a fuel crises. Fact #2 Fuel can make from waste products from animals including human waste. Fact #3 Human waste products can also be used .by converting it to liquid then gas. Fact #4 Human flatus is already in the form of gas. Fact #5 We have an unlimited supply of flatus. Fact #6 It is a renewable resource. Fact #7 We will be reducing the green house effect. I saw on television how a dairy farmer used a process of converting cow manure from solid to liquid and through a fermentation process the bubbles were collected and the gas was use to make electricity. This would be an excellent way to reduce our dependence on other source of fuel and it would not reduce our food production. We could divide our country into fuel zones based on energy need. Of course the bigger cities will need more fuel. Each area could support its own energy needs. We could improve our health and help the environment at the same time. We know that many vegetables are powerful gas producers. We need some sort of schedule for consuming these foods and a means of removing the collected flatus. Perhaps something similar to a port-a-potty with a vacuum and a one way valve to collect the flatus and trap it in a receptacle. The flatus collectors containers (FCC’s) could be placed at the curb alone with the blue recycle containers to be picked up and taken to the processing center. The gas can be converted to electricity and the solid can be processed and returned to rebuilt the soil for more plants, which in turn take in the carbon dioxide and returns oxygen to the atmosphere. We eat more vegetables and fruits, we get healthier, we produce more flatus and have all the energy we need and rebuilt the earth at the same time. It’s a “Win-Win” situation. We know that beer is excellent gas producer, mix that with some onion rings or hot wings and we can fill a FCC in no time. I actually believe we can sell gas to Exxon to ship to other countries that haven’t thought of this idea. We would help our economy at the same time. We actually have tremendous amounts of very good flatus going to waste daily. Now that summer vacations are just ahead would be a time to consider this idea. While traveling we are sitting in a car or some other form of transportation and collecting large amounts of flatus. If we could deposit this in the FCC’s we’d be off to a more positive start. On one of our trips we had traveled several hundred miles in one day and when we stopped at the motel for the night. We were all racing for the bathroom. I am the slowest so I was last. My husband pulled “rank” on my son I think the people next door thought we were having an earthquake with the pounding footsteps, the muffled explosions and I’m not sure the building didn’t shake a little. My son went in after my husband and when he came out, he warmed me to wait a little while before I went in. He wanted the vent fan to clear the air a little. He was straightened his shirt when he looked me straight in the eye and said, “Mom, It is really bad in there but I had to go and while I was sitting on the toilet I saw a this fly flying across the room and all at once it dived to the floor It died mid-air and was dead as a door nail when it hit. Poor thing was gassed to death. I don’t want that to happen to you “ Of course he didn’t stop there, next he said “ Oh there was pretty wall paper in there before Dad chased me out and when I went back in it after he was finished .The gas was so bad, the wall paper was slowly curling down off the wall By the time I got done it was all cured up on the floor. I stuffed under the sink because I knew you’d be mad.” Ladies and Gentleman let’s face it. It’s a shame to let sure quality flatus go to waste.
