So how many hundreds of billions of dollars are we going to be forced to send to Kenya for the ‘secret’ of their technology?

Seems to me this could be done at the sewage processing plant.

What sewage processing plant?

It's Kenya, and a prison.

Bio-gas now fuels three boilers in the prison kitchen

I prefer home-cooking.

Apparently, they never heard the saying "don't crap where you eat."

Just you wait - coming soon to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco etc., Add a brown bin to the blue, green, red and yellow ones. Fines for non-compliance and/or under weight containers.

Now you are beginning to realize why we can no longer have 5 gallon toilets. The size will get ever smaller.

Once the bio-gas has been produced and stored in the collection chamber, the remaining slurry is pushed out through the outlet of the dry bend. There the remaining water is purified and the slurry is later released to the farm.

And then it is put over the next "generation" of foodstuffs.

Now now, its not their fault they’ve just discovered that this fire stuff works on substances other than dried buffalo dung.

Will you be so haughty when they make the connection between drinking water contaminated by raw sewage and sh*tting yourself to death a day or two later? I think not.

Our municipal sewage plant generates its own electricity using methane. They told me they generate enough that they don’t have to buy power except from a black start.

And from what I recall a major city we did work in was doing the same thing. This isn’t unusual I don’t think. The methane is generated anyway as you treat the waste so its just a matter of capturing it and burning it in an engine which drives a generator.
