A BBC article talks about turning human waste into gas and feeding it back into the grid and it seems that this new way of doing things for us has been used around the world for centuries.

The comments on the BBC site show support for 'Pooh power', what do you think?

From what they say in the article, there is no change to the consumer whatsover - either in terms of the process of getting the waste to the plant for turning in to gas - or in terms of the end product ; it does the same job and smells the same. Why would we not want to go down this route?

If the North sea gas resources are running down anyway, presumably we could be at risk of higher prices of gas from Russia or the Middle East anyway?
