you could make biogas and, with some fiddling, use it like propane in a gas engine. Biogas is very widespread on a small scale in India and China. Human feces has been used in China as a fertilizer for 4,000 years. Composting is better becuase it can kill pathogens if hot enough (and compost done right can get quite hot). Also, plenty of places sell "composting toilets" so you don't need a bucket. :-) And if you want crap -> diesel...mix it with the turkey guts in Carthage. Chris

Yes and in addition value is dependent on its intended use. If it is a daily driver and not just intended to be a piece of furniture. IE as a saleman I drive 50K a year or more. Do I buy a new Honda every four to five years for $20K or spend half as much for a car THAT IS WORTH KEEPING up. I myself feel the MB diesel and some MB gasers are the only work horses on the road that deserves this attention and TLC. Another point in defining value is the purchasers economic position. What is crap to me might be worth gold to others. Just My two cents.
