Poop Baby Poop
By Art Gallagher
“Poop Baby Poop” could replace “Drill Baby Drill” as the mantra for energy independence advocates if a Houston, Texas company is successful converting 60,000 tons of Camden County sludge into a product that replaces coal as a fuel source.
Synagro Technologies Inc was awarded a $28 million grant along with the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority from the Department of Community Affairs to begin turning the poop into power, according to NJSpotlight.
Robert Montenegro, Synagro’s Camden project manager, says poop burns cleaner that coal. The poop is dried and converted to renewable fuel to create energy and power manufacturing operations. The 60,000 tons of poop will replace 6,000 tons of coal and reduce carbon emissions by 17,000 tons. I don’t understand that math. I guess I don’t know shit.
