dog, poop, methane, electricity, power, san francisco, golden gateAnyone who's ever spent time in San Francisco (and perhaps stepped in a stinky patch in Duboce park) knows that this is a city that loves its dogs. So much so that dog poop is a real issue in terms of urban cleanliness -- pet feces currently makes up nearly 4 percent of San Francisco's residential waste! So its about time then, that someone came up with the brilliant idea to put San Francisco's dog poop to work and find a better use for it than simply filling up garbage cans (and getting stuck on people's shoes). The forward-thinking environmentally-friendly city will be the first in the nation to use dog feces as a renewable energy source through the production and combustion of methane gas.1
