Poop biofuel is even more potent

I think this will eventually be inevitable; using human sewage (aka poop) as a biofuel feedstock. Now it turns out that the water used to treat the sewage contains enough leftover organic matter to augment the process by 20%. This news is courtesy of the American Chemical Society, which would probably know about those things.

There have likely been thousands of jokes, good and bad, based on flatulence and natural gas. Well, when poop becomes a biofuel feedstock, everybody becomes a power source.
