Just imagine in the future if all engines convert to poo power, every time you have a cr*p, you will have to pay tax on it

Seems something of an irony that this vehical is being used to transfer people to or from another vehical that burns fossil fuels by the ton.
It's not a new idea. Back in the 60's Croydon's sewage works had its own electricity generator which was driven by an engine powered by methane gas produced on site. Spare electricity was sold to the Electricity Co. The equipment had been working from before WW2.

Great idea the Poo Bus.. Now if Cameron was to buy one for the House of Commons, it would run forever, given the amount of crap that comes out of there.

They could run several hot air balloons too.
This poo bus: is it the number 2 by any chance?
There's been a terrible accident; the poo bus has left the road this evening, and plunged into the Avon.
Luckily, it's a floater.

On a more serious note, you may actually be measured by the flush for sewerage charges, Anglian Water bill metered customers for 90% of fresh water taken through a meter to be returned to the sewers.
Bad news though for anyone planning on making their own methane. The gas produced comes from pure sludge, the bulk of the water has already been drawn off, to leave a 'custard like' consistency that can be pumped around as required. You need a lot of sewage to create the amount of sludge required to make the process viable.
There is however, no waste. The resulting 'digested' sludge once it has completed the process is dewatered and the final product is sold to farmers as a fertilizer.

I'm aware that many people have water meters and, consequently, are billed for the amount of water consumed, but how can they measure what proportion is used for flushing the toilet?
As for measuring poo, is it at all possible to use an equivalent to water meters on sewerage pipes?

Poo Cameras. Every time one passes your rat flap, a camera linked to a council computer snaps it and logs it (geddit?) and £1.50 is taken out of your bank account automatically.
They cant measure what's being used to flush the loo, but allow 10% for watering gardens etc, the rest somehow or another, directly or indirectly, will find it's way back into the sewers, washing, bathing, cooking etc.
They did think about having someone at the other end to log the incoming flow, but he wouldn't work for less than time and a turd, so the idea was pooh poohed.....
