Wastewater Into Energy

fenimor writes "A lot of electric energy could be produced from a city's wastewater, researchers at University of Toronto have discovered. The research revealed that the wastewater contained enough organic material to potentially produce 113 megawatts of electricity - 5 times more than required to operate wastewater treatment plants."

Oh NO! You had to RTFA?! You poor bastard, that really sucks!

Fuck, man. I mean I know 99% of commenters don't bother to read the article before spewing their intellectual sewage, but I thought that was a bad thing.

Right, because it was the capitalist that first destroyed animals for his needs. It was the capitalist that first cut down trees to make her house. It was the capitalist who forced nature to only grow one kind of plant in an area, leeching nutrients from the soil. Of course, by capitalist you mean "Humanity trying its best to survive"

Whats your priority? Should we do our best to prevent damaging Mother Nature? Guess what. Mother Nature is out to kill you. And the only thing that lets us survivie is by beating her down. You say that damaging Mother Nature could be bad for us? Your right, in the long term. And no one cares for the long term. However, because the capitalist does care about his bottom line, the capitalist pig is willing to find cheap energy sources. The Capitalist pig is willing to find ways to make reintroduce nutrients into the soil. The capitalist pig is willing to do what he can to make sure that the resources he needs are there in the future and that his planet is clean.

Unlike the damn tree hugging hippies who can't take a bath for fear that the soap will harm the enviroment.

PS To all the Treehuggers in Boulder with the "Save the Planet" type bumperstickers. If you paint your rust spots, and take you car in for regular maintance, it won't polute the enviroment half as much as it does now. Set the example.
