Sewage magically made inert and even useful... a mind-bogglingly vast unseen system that cleans your crap and sends it out to sea, engineering and science front to back. And the resultant gas produced runs the plant, saving $62M a year in power bills https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/30/newsletters/sewage-deer-island/?et_rid=371877843&s_campaign=globesmostpopular:newsletter&et_rid=371877843&s_campaign=globesmostpopular:newsletter
