Instead they have trucks to pick up the waste. Each of these trucks hold 10,000 gallons...<br /> <br />Amazingly, Dubai doesn't have a sewage infrastructure to support its skyscrapers, including the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. <br /><br />Drivers said they'd been queuing for three days! <br /><br />Unsurprising then, that "many dump their loads into storm drains that lead directly to the open sea." <br /><br />Tourists are warned of the risk of contracting serious illnesses like typhoid and hepatitis if swimming on Dubai beaches.

Based in New Hampshire, the 24-year-old firm generated $56 million in revenue last year, partly by turning poop into power. <br /><br />Transforming biological waste into fuels for the future is a nascent industry that has yet to be proven on a large scale. <br /><br />But so far, Environmental Power has built three small-scale digesters on Wisconsin farms, each of which provides electricity for 600 homes using the manure from about 1,000 cows. <br /><br />Each project is cash-flow positive, according to CEO Kamlesh Tejwani, though the company as a whole has yet to turn a profit. <br /><br />The firm is constructing eight more digesters, and 21 more are in the preconstruction stages. Most of its projects will be on larger farms with at least 5,000 cows.<br /><br />'PoopSat' Eyes Power in Human Waste : Discovery News - http://news.discovery.com/space/poop-satellite-energy-space.html <br /><br />Gas From Raw Sewage to Power Rockets : Discovery News - http://news.discovery.com/tech/poop-rocket-fuel.html <br /><br />You be the judge.<br /><br />Shalom.flyer168https://www.blogger.com/profile/06969462363484277458noreply@blogger.com
