Transportation costs would be a killer.


First they would have to find someone willing to do it. Who wants to haul poop for a living? Imagine the poor kids when they have to take a parent to school to tell about their line of work.

Lots of people haul poo for a living. Not too many commodities that you are certain will always be there... but poo is one of them.

Where's Mike Rowe?

Hammer you brought out some good points. We need to explore alternative sources of fuel. Bush and that crowd in the capitol aren't going to do it.

I don't see this as much of an issue, given the farmer near our home has already sprayed his acreage with incredibly stinky pig poop twice within the past month (including once this week! ). If the money was right, he might be willing to do it for others every <expletive> day...and I don't think we'd miss him. <Nothing personal, Mr. Farmer, but it is the pits to be downwind!>
