Washington D.C. Poo Creates 13 Megawatts!
Yes, there can be a lot of bad jokes made on the results of Congressional workings in Washington, but I will leave those to this year's presidential candidates and pundits. What is indisputably working in Washington, irrespective of your own political bent, is that the wastewater treatment plant (DC Water's Blue Plains plant) is one of the world's largest to convert stinky water into electricity!
