The Mexican solution by spreading human feces on vegtables, I guess they will call it the Hatian Revenge.

Will Haiti become DR's energy source? Talk about turning a problem, human waste in Haiti, into a solution: clean, biodegradable energy. Now link it to some power plants and export it to DR and earn financial dividends.

Cooking with Caca. I can see the billboards now. jajajajaajajajjaaja

While all this may sound counter-intuitive, in California and especially in Singapore, I believe, there are places where waste-water is used to provide safe drinking water to customers. The water meets such strict standards that the water exceeds the government mandated drinking water standards! So this idea, far fetched as it at first appears may hold more water than some believe.

The billboards: "Cagando Para El Progreso del Pais"

To use caca as fuel is as old as the hills ..In India there are millions of homes with walls plastered with patties of animal and human caca

Well, I prefer the idea of building a large scale petroleum refinery in Haiti with a joint venture scenario with Venezuela to take advantage of the abundant oil reserves there. Haiti would purchase Mesa and Merey crudes from Venezuela at reduced rates, process these high sulfur, highly conductive crudes and turn an impressive margin. The refinery will require a delayed coker and an FCC and bielectric desalters on the front ends of the crude units to handle the highly conductive crudes. Haiti can burn the petcoke as a supplement to No. 6 oil to generate power at its power plants. Haiti should abandon any idea of ethanol production and focus on jatropha bio-diesel. It's BTU returns are very close to fossil fuel diesel and jatropha can be produced on acrid lands with little water. Wind generators at Haiti's North coast is also a huge plus. Haiti needs excellent proposal writers to secure grants and loans.

This caca thing is a pipe dream and is neither sustainable nor efficient.

Who came up with this kakamamie idea anyway?

Poor Haitians, it just won't stop, people keep giving them shit.

I am just an old trucker, but if one of those big Haitian politicians ever gave me a job to revitalize the energy sector of Haiti, I would get things turned around. The lights would never go off and diesel No. 2-Oil would sell for under $2.00 a gallon.

In many European countries, and not long ago... (probably still in rural areas), animal waste was dried hard in the shape of bricks for heat and cooking. Apparently, it gives great heat.
And hey. We pay here to buy sheep and cow menure for our gardens. Why not use it where it is of good, cheap, natural use.

Cagando pa seguir progressando!!!!!!

Casita contenta con tu caquita.

There's a new Japanese restaurant in PAP.

It's called "Nokomo Kakita".

It's not going to help that much. This is another innovative way for the NGOs in Haiti to make money under Haiti's name. How much caca does one need to power a house with at least refrigerator a small stove two tv sets one radio set and so ?
I agree with most blogger that the situation needs another serious approach. We have a project to manufacture LGP stove in Haiti and would get the LGP from Trinidad or Venezuela unless the public sector would invest in a refinery to make the liquid affordable but there is also a mafioso clan in Haiti that will not permit it if it's not their project. This clan wants to own everything or unless you are one of them you don't get anything done in this country that's why it's important that we invite foreign investors with deep pocket so they can't mess with

Our project calls for first assembling the cooking stoves then distribute them for free or the so called NGO would facilitate poor people to posess one (US $85) for a 20" with oven. The Gov would put money where their mouth is. The price for LGP in Haiti is not regulated or controlled by the Gov then as DR gov has been doing to keep the price low . Enact laws that severely punish those tree cutters and traders including transporters to consummers. This project also creates local jobs, train workers in metalforming, machinisting and other metal areas While saving the country a lot of money in terms of US dollars import to reimport merchandise

dominique,

Very good points.

With all those fat cats in the presidential palace, setting up a similar system there in Sto. Domingo would probably power the whole city.

I have enjoyed this topic... i don't mean to mock but it is just hilarious.....
But on a serious note, something like this not handled properly could spell disaster for the population if wates are not treated they way they are supposed to. Why nor look for more sustainable solutions to the energy problem..

I trully WISH this someday will solve or at least lesser the deforestation problem...i'm sick and tired of see how OUR TREES are chopped down to be done charcoal for the haitians and some stupid dominicans

Cagando por un mejor futuro en cada mojon duro.

I did'nt think Id live to see the day of ANY I MEAN ANY progress in Haiti.
Surprise Surprise Surprise!

easyrider,

Many people, including myself, said the same thing about 'living to see the day the US would have a black President'. Guess what? Well, you know.

Progress is progress. I'm not surprised to see the usual gang of people with their negative chants and derogatory remarks.

Polo I'm still cracking up about that Japanese restaurant Nokoma Kakita.

I'd like to know where those fish grown in 2kah2o are being shipped to.

Gov then as DR gov has been doing to keep the price low=== LOW,bull crap.
