If you asked someone what dead cattle and lobsters have in common, they probably wouldn't guess that they could be used to power homes on Prince Edward Island.
But, here we are.
P.E.I. Agriculture Minister Bloyce Thompson said in the legislature Friday that it's a promising idea that's likely to happen as government explores creating a biodigester system in the province.
"We are looking at a model of a biodigester that will digest animal waste, seafood waste and other food waste that possibly could power Borden-Carleton, we'll say," Thompson said during question period, referencing the town of just under 800 residents at the foot of the Confederation Bridge.
