I've become obsessed with the idea of poop as an energy source.
If you combine all human poop in the USA plus animal manure to get methane yield, it would be 147 terrawatt-hours per year. Thats almost 4% of the entire energy demand of the USA
You could power the entire planet for like 5000 years with just 1% of perfectly efficient solar energy
