Video: Watch Bill Gates drink water that was once human waste

We’ll have a bottle of Ballygowan, thank you...

Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates recently dropped by Janicki Bioenergy in Washington to check out their incredible omniprocessor and to have a glass of water…

However, it wasn’t just any glass of water. That’s because the water you see Bill drinking was made from burning human waste inside the omniprocessor just five minutes previous.

Not only does the omniprocessor turn human poop into clean drinkable water, it can also produce electricity that helps run the processor.

According to Bill Gates: “In places without good waste treatment plants, it could be a real game-changer.”
