    What about turning your own shit into a fuel that could be used to power your vehicle or home? Has anyone looked into this? If I could take a big dump and then have it converted into a fuel source to power my ride or crib it would be amazing.

    It can be done but you'd have to really be "full of shit" !

    If we could turn shit into fuel then after 8 years of Bush I think we'd have enough to fuel the world for an eternity.

    This kind of parasitic process of reclaiming energy is workable, but there is a flaw. Without cheap fossil fuels, we would not be able to produce so much food in the first place, much less transport all the garbage to a central location. We almost literally eat oil.

    We'd need a lot of shit to fuel us through the next election.

    It wouldn't work. How would the greedy corporations control it? How would they price-gouge us then?

    My guess is that you would have to do it on a larger scale, than most people would like to bother with.

    I would like to power vehicles with extracted air thermo energy, or with nuclear reactors. Both "unlimited" sources of fuel, allowing one to buy a car, and not have to refuel. But the former supposedly violates the first law of thermodynamics, and the latter hasn't been developed small enough yet either.
