ROFLOL.
I've read a bit more about this project here and there, looks like what they
want is some kind of chemical reaction that burns the feces and evaporates
the urine. Is it just me, or does it seem that this is a classic case of
"the devil is in the details".

it clears the credit union

Sounds like a basic composting toilet to me, bucket with lid plus compost

So the Gates Foundation can give Bob the $42 million and I am positive
he would find better uses for that.... (I wish!)

(Parenthetically - Hi, Bob, My husband and I now live in the woods in
northern coastal Maine having been driven from our home in Pennsylvania
by fracking and its associated horrors! Very sad. A beautiful,
beautiful natural area is being devastated, to say nothing of a lot of
lives devastated as well. We were fortunate to be able to sell our home
and escape to the forests of Maine. It's been a very, very rough year,
but we're OK now. Cheers, Pat)
