Oslo seems to be making good use of their flatus. What a pooptastic way to get a little more heat into the city.

The sewage heat pump plant, which began operating last week, uses fridge technology to tap heat from raw sewage and direct it back to the country’s capital Oslo.

Machines at the end of a 300 metre long tunnel in a hillside in central Oslo suck heat from the sewer and transfer it to a network of hot water pipes feeding thousands of radiators and taps in the city.

What’s it called when you trap your umm “body” heat under the comforter?
