I was thinking about it the other night, and we always hear the baawww about global warming. The morons on the tv and in the government always talk about how we need to make sacrafices as a means of averting global warming and in becoming energy dependant. What do they really mean by sacrafice though, other than putting more and more taxes on gasoline to where it becomes $6/gal? Then I started to think of the new wave of ethanol plants being built. These plants use cow manure to produce ethanol. Still, why limit it to cow manure? Imagine how much water would be saved if humans just shit in a bag and sent it into these power plants? We are also getting closer and closer to a water crisis in the country, and desal is expensive. Why not save the water that would be wasted by flushing that potiental ethanol down the toilet? Is there really that much of a difference between cow manure and the shit that comes out of a human? What about our pets, think of litter boxes and the minefield that your dog creates in the back yard? Why are these valueable resources going to waste when we should be solving our enegry dependancy problem? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/08/060818-ethanol.html
