Could houses be powered by URINE? Scientists generate electricity from bacteria in human waste
British scientists have already proven they can charge a phone using urine to feed microbial fuel cells
They are now working to scale up their innovation with the aim of providing electricity and sanitation to communities in remote and poor areas
The research, undertaken by scientists at The Robotics Lab in Bristol, is backed by the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation

The notion that homes could be fuelled by human waste, might not be an appealing thought, but it could transform people's lives in developing countries.
British scientists have already proved they can charge a phone by using urine to feed microbial fuel cells.
And they aim to scale up their innovation to provide much needed electricity and sanitation in the form of a clever bathroom system designed to be used in remote and poor areas of the world.

Maybe with nanotechnology 'they' will finally find out how to tap more power using solar panels, almost 1.5kw per square meter is hiting your roof.

another abundant source of energy is hydrogen, 2/3 of water is hydrogen, which you can use for cooking, fuel etc instead of propane gas or natural gas, which are not renewable.

Toyota is betting on hydrogen fuel-cel for EV, they are going to market it, they just said soon it will be as popular as the Prius.

Eventually everyone will have enough energy, almost free, like we have information now, free over the internet.

It will have to be one step at the time, oil is the center of the world econony, they must be carefull while switching sources.

During the mean time it business as usual, 'get as much profit as you can', during the mean time 'they' are trying how to control any new source of energy, including our urine... LOL

They will not teach how to produce hydrogen, they just will 'convert' gasoline pumps to hydrogen 'pumps', for the ICE car and EV using hydrogen fuel-cel

very simple

Hey!
Why bother?

We already had that thread about guy from DR making cars run on water........

Soon.

Very soon....

Solar is already cheaper than building a power plant and its cost decrease by about half every 10 years. The panels themselves aren't even the biggest expense of a home system anymore.

US solar power costs fall 60% in just 18 months: pv-magazine

The next generation of solar may use nanotechnology that can make pretty much any surface into a solar panel. Graphene is made essentially from pencil lead, so it's not going to be expensive..

Come on. If you think this is even remotely possible, urine for a big disappointment . Sorry couldn't resist
