The methane it produces, can be used for cooking, heating, even powering an ICE engine.

In theory, so could collecting farts. And as you said about the biogas, may not be practical.

Well, you don't produce enough methane from flatulence obviously to be useful, and you wouldn't want to have to wear a device to collect it regardless.

The question is, is it practical? The fact that I cannot easily determine this leads me to believe that is largely is not practical however, if it was, it would be suppressed because it would lessen dependency on centralization. You'd have to to talk to somebody that is trying to do it to find out.

Talk to people who have tried it, but be suspicious - they are often fanatics that think they are "saving the world". They will exaggerate, and they aren't even being malicious - they just think it CAN work, and if you go into it, maybe you can help them as well. They are unconscious as to their motivation.

There were a bunch of 1990's hippies that stole cooking oil to make biodeisel (ever work in a restaurant, there is a receptacle to dump used oil - burger oil, old frying oil, whatever). Their thinking was the "oil was just going to be composted anyhow" - nope, it's sent to a rendering plant, and you get soap and other products made from it. They were 100% unaware that they were stealing, they just believed they were recovering something they could make useful, that would otherwise be in a garbage tip. These greenies don't understand everything, and they have their heart in the right place, they just don't realize that we can't all be doing this shit.

Yes, do remember the alcohol fuel craze from about 1980? The idea that people could power their cars from fuel that make themselves? I even researched using whey as the fermentation base. Good in theory, but not practical even though plenty of books and experts expounded on it.

Bad information is worse than lies. I've gone down plenty of false paths myself.

I think solar energy might be a good path, but energy storage is a problem. Creating hydrogen from water and electrolysis might be reasonable, but that's super explosive and hard to contain and not energy efficient, but way more efficient than using plants to make biogas. Plants are about 1% efficient at storing energy, and that's a type of algae.

Solar panels are up to 20% efficient at creation, and they die down to 15% or lower, and converting that energy to hydrogen is below 50%, so like 6% efficiency and there is the question of whether you ever recover the energy needed to make the solar panel? We might be there, but maybe we're not, but I think we can get there. Solar panels today are so thin, they are like flexible sheets of plastic - but what is their longevity, how much maintenance do you need?

I'm an engineer, I want to solve problems, not make fake solutions. I've seen so many fake solutions. Electric cars are a fake solution.

How many beers would a man have to consume so he doesn't recognize "she" is a tranny and takes it home? Maybe that is Bud's angle, just a stronger beer goggle.

Lola Juice. L-O-L-A Lola Juice.

Soapstone is supposed to be quite good at storing heat and it's easily available at Home Depot.

Someday I'll try heating it up with solar energy concentrated with a massive lens and releasing the heat at night. Just for fun.

I'll bite:



If you drink about 12 of these, you might be out of your mind enough to fuck this:



In the asshole because there is no vagina there.

It's weird, nothing about him seems genuine. I worry about karma now, the concept is that we are all god and we all experience all lives of everybody and everything, which means I will experience being Dylan Mulvaney.

Oh, and all of you will as well, you'll even experience being me. Sorry about my bad life..

What a compliment. They make Stormy look like a drag tranny.

When you own the Emperor Node of fiat money printing presses, it is good, indeed, to be Emperor.

LOL! Highest paid actors from our buddy Benjamin Fulford.

More LOL! Zelensky snorting and zooming, and soon to be emigrating in a burka to enjoy his expatriated billions.
