Sewage to fertiliser

I don't really want politics on this blog (especially this week) but I do want to address the Psaki comments about our fertiliser issue. Psaki points out we make fertiliser right here in the Denver area, so why not just treat this like we treat cow manure: ship it to some remote location, ferment it awhile, kill the germs and move it elsewhere.

Last February, Frank Carini saw all this coming and explained, why not. The sewage from cities isn't just Wholesome Farms (TM, Sysco) manure. It comes with whatever molecules come off the pipes, along with engine exhaust and various other schmutz from the cities. Also, humans take medications which cows don't: antidepressants, birth-control... fentanyl. Heavy metals make their presence known as well, somewhere.

This blog isn't here to complain but to propose solutions so: I see an analogy with coal waste. (Ironically, for Psaki.) How about treating all this nasty with similar treatments? It used to be that those treatments were worse than leaving the nasty alone but, that may no longer be the case.
