Believe it or not . . .

A leading water company is celebrating a new type of bottom line - the generation of renewable energy from customers' poo.
Thames Water said it was flushed with success after saving £15 million last year in electricity bills by generating renewable power from the waste produced by 13.6 million customers.
Under the scheme, power is generated either by drying sewage into blocks of "poo cake" which is then burned to generate power or through anaerobic digestion where the methane from sewage sludge is burned to create heat.
