Doggy Waste To Fuel Light

Put it in the Digester boy!

A plan has been hatched in Gilbert Arizona for canine waste at a dog park to be used to power a streetlamp. Students from ASU's Polytechnic are hoping to design and build a "dog waste digester" a machine which will convert dog waste to methane gas which in turn is used to generate electricity.

What a great idea! Now if we can only get the dogs to pick it up and put it in the machine themselves we will have something!
Are there any other places on the planet that are considering this besides Arizona? Will doggy poop someday power the world?
