Currently there are about 250,000,000
persons in the USA. On the average 1 person in 7 will expend about a liter of intestinal
gas per day. Since natural gas in the US is sold by the cubic foot, for comparison, we
need to convert the output of intestinal gas to cubic feet. Using the assumption that 1/7
of the population expels 1 liter of intestinal gas per day that would equal about 1.5
million cubic feet of gas per day, or 550 million cubic feet per year.
The natural gas provided by The Gas Company
has no odor when extracted from the gas wells. They have to spend money to add a smell. On
the other hand, intestinal gas is usually quite rich in sulfur dioxide. Parts of the
population generate more gas than others. The local bars and retirement centers are two
prime candidates for gas collection points. To increase the collected volume make sure
they serve large quantities of beer, eggs, onions, and beans.
Once the collection equipment is in place
there will be no expense. No wells to sink, no speculation wells that have no gas. Just
meter your collection into the Gas Company's lines at the various locations, and bill the
Gas Company.
Just think, you make a good living, and the
air in your local bars and retirement manors are free of sulfur dioxide.
