Poop power!

Posted 01.26.2005 by Turd Hugegrunt
Central Vermont Public Service is milking electricity out of 1,500 cows at Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport, Vermont. The utility is using the methane gas from the dairy herd to turn turbines supplying power to about 1,000 customers.

"This is the first time anywhere in the country that a farm-based generation has been offered to customers as a renewable choice," said Steve Costello of the utility corporation.

PoopReport congratulates the poop-powered customers, who normally pay 12 cents per kilowatt hour, for agreeing to pay an additional 4 cents per kilowatt-hour to support the farm.

Blue Spruce dairyman, Earl Audet is delighted with the financial arrangement. "The girls are now officially producing two streams of income, a milk check and a power check," said Audet, who owns the farm with his brothers.

Ok, so the methane gas from the poop is used to power the turbines.

Now we can call those turbines, turdbines.

I can't wait until I can go into business selling my POOP. I always knew my POOP was full of energy! I say screw go green! GO BROWN!

1,000 cows produce a lot of poop, but so do 300,000,000 people. I know that a decent amount of our poop does not make it into a municipal collection point (sewage plant); for example, ours goes into our septic system. But even that got pumped (i.e., collected by truck, or honey wagon) last summer, so it made into a sewage plant eventually. Why not collect the gases produced at local sewage facilities to generate power? I would even bet it's been done somewhere. Poop power to the people!

MSG, we would probably do this, but, unfortunately, we have to fill the pocket books of oil and coal executives. Please stop and think. If we convert to poop power instead of oil power, poor Mr. Oil Baron can only buy ONE Caribbean island this spring. How sad!
