Today's question: Has Yukon Energy ever considered the most sustainable energy resource that is available in almost every community in the country including Yukon? Every major community has a sewage waste disposal plant. Decomposing sewage produces methane gas. The technology is available to construct bio-gas generatiors that would produce gas to power generators. With growing populations there is a never ending fuel source.
Thanks for the question. To date Yukon Energy has not looked at the possibility of turning sewage into electricity and it's not something we have any knowledge about. However we are open to looking at all options and we may well do some research into this subject. Thanks for the suggestion.
