This could actually work for alot of rural Idaho and Utah communities. What do you think, Bo?

This article talks about a similar concept:
Human Feces Powers Rwandan Prison
Imagine if everyone had a Mr. Fusion in the toilets of their home and office, allowing the world to be powered by a natural cycle.

I woke up thinking about a blog idea focused on renewable energy. Treehugger.com already does something similar with a broader subject matter. I'm thinking about something along the lines of a Life Hacker site that informs people of the little things they can do everyday to reduce their energy consumption and/or increase their reliance on renewable energy sources. Google ad supported and maybe even eventually some e-commerce for solar panels, windmills, programmable thermostats etc.
