So all New Year's Day I am sitting and contemplating "what should be my first 2018 FR post?" The day goes by and, as always, all the good articles are always grabbed by somebody else. Then, LO! A few minutes ago I stumble upon this excellent dog waste story and thinks to myself "That's it!"

To kick off my 2018 FR Postathon Contributions, ladies & gents, I present to you the dog poop powered street lamp! Here's to well lit streets and properly curbed dogs.

Happy New Year!

How long before they start putting the street lamps on top of outhouses.

[Cowboy Bob]

Just dog poop? If it cann handle human poop, they might like it in San Francisco!

So, continuing this train of thought...
If I was to invent a lamp that ran on urine
I could put an eternal flame of shame
on Jane Fonda’s grave!

[Buckeye McFrog]

From that diagram I have a hard time believing this thing produces more energy than it uses to heat the poo.

[MAKOTHEDOG]

This is not just going to be for the dogs....

[DakotaGator]

San Francisco will use the human waste version.

[Responsibility2nd]

Hmmmm.

Officials in Frisco and Seattle are taking notes on the HUMAN Waste in the streets problems.

[Zarro]

Nice work! It’s a good pick. The graphic clinches it.
Happy New Year!

It’s a great kickoff post! And actually, a good idea. A lot of places already have doggie doo bag containers on the lampposts, so it shouldn’t be too hard to keep the “fuel” coming. Yuck.

But I really appreciate people who pick up after their dogs. I was in Paris just a few days ago and I noticed that everywhere, even in the best parts of the central district, it’s still sidewalk hopscotch (as we used to call it in NY) to avoid the dog poop. Paris needs to be first in line for this invention!

and could spell the end for plump little bags littering roadside verges

Not a chance. The world will always be full of lazy, obtuse, inconsiderate people who can't even be bothered to bend over to pick up their dog's crap.

this is a sh*tty post.

Just wait till a Muzzie drops a bomb in it.

And no I don’t mean figuratively.

Allah Crapbar

Not sure why is this being proposed in the UK when muslims hate dogs, therefore dogs will be banned there...eventually.

[Vaquero]

We can go back to the gaslight era. That’s ‘progressive’ thinking

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

All this spurred on by the UK’s fanatical adherence to the Warmunist theology.

[KeyLargo]

They need that to dispose of all the crap left on sidewalks By bums in San Fran Sicko.

[bgill]

San Francisco should look into this for all the human waste on the streets.

I’ll bet it smells wonderful.

My dog’s got no nose:

Cute idea, but at what expense??? I doubt this kind of thing will ever pay for itself. If not, it is just feel-good posturing.
