Reuters reported Friday that Britain's Science Museum is considering siphoning off waste from the toilets and using it to create electricity.

"With free admission it would be a great way for visitors to give something back to the museum and help keep the overheads down," said the museum's head Jon Tucker. "We have almost 3 million visitors each year and have huge electricity bills."

According to Reuters, the power produced from the excrement of 100,000 visitors could produce enough to power 500 light bulbs, while also breaking down harmful organic matter
