...Orleans, the second vessel in the San Antonio's class. It "cannot support embarked troops, cargo or landing craft" - its primary mission - according to a report obtained by the independent Navy Times. Navy officials say the third and fourth vessels are performing much better. The rush to produce the fleet might make military sense if they were needed, but the last time Marines stormed ashore - the key reason the taxpayers are spending $14 billion on the San Antonio and at least eight more ships just like it - was nearly 60 years ago, at Inchon during the Korean...

In the French city of Lille, a small fleet of ten buses are also using methane, gleaned from the city's poop. And in some Indian villages, simple latrines have been built that separate waste and use it to produce compost and fertilizer at a per capita cost infinitesimally lower than any waste management budget in the West...
