Town to turn stinking hog manure into power.

[Johnboy60]

CHICAGO (Reuters) - They cannot escape the stench, but residents of tiny Reynolds, Indiana, hope the oceans of hog manure produced nearby will power their homes and businesses some day soon.

"We're very excited," town president Charlie Van Voorst. "They're advertising us as a showcase for the world."

Indiana's energy conservation-minded Gov. Mitch Daniels will take his ethanol-powered recreational vehicle to Reynolds on Tuesday to designate the single stoplight town the world's first "Biotown."

I saw the title of this thread and thought it was a baseball thread about the Phillies.

Heh, good way to turn disgusting waste into something useful. I just wonder if the power plant will stink too?

The article reminded me of attempts here in Guam, USA to burn the trash we locals are so proficient at producing and using the heat to generate electical power. That got nixed, so now we're just awaiting a new landfill.
