More to the point, why not recycle people's wastes?
Composting sewage and garbage could yield methane, which could then be compressed and used directly as motor fuel; or piped to ethanol plants in order to replace oil or natural gas used in plant operations.
Feed lot and other food-animal confinement area wastes could also be compsted to yield both methane and "petro free" fertilizer.
Currently, there are plans here in Nebraska for an ethanol/methane digester/ feedlot plant where animal wastes would power the ethanol plant and the mash left over from the ethanol plant fed to the cattle to yield more methane.
Excess methane not needed for plant operations would go into a nearby town's natural gas system.
It's getting to the point that wastes are too valuable to throw away/flush/bury.
