Plant will burn turkey dung to generate power.
Turkey dung is prized over pig excrement and cow chips.

“Poultry litter is drier material, so it burns better, and there’s a lot of it,” said Charles Grecco, of HH Media, LLC, an investment bank that helped arrange $202 million in financing for the plant.

The 55-megawatt plant will burn 700,000 tons of dung a year and produce fertilizer as a by-product, a process that will keep phosphorus and nitrates found in the raw litter from seeping into water supplies, said Grecco.

1. I think it's a great idea.
Get rid of our dependence on oil and coal, so much the better.

And, yes, I will laugh at the double entendre shit jokes. :D :7 :D

2. I Don't Think GWB Can Handle That Much Fiber
or even the whole GOP. They'd have to chew cud like cows.
