That's 2238 total Wh of power for the 7.43 cubic foot of gas, with 1238 being thermal and acoustic. Of course the heat can be recycled for less waste.
The relationship of 1 lb-mole of an ideal gas occupies approx. 379.3 SCF at standard conditions of 60°F and 14.7psia, meaning that 17.5 pounds of methane of a body is equal to 6,650 cubic feet of methane, which, when calculated with the ideal electric conversion rate will be 895,000 Wh, or 895kWh.
This is assuming ideal performance, conversion, and not taking into account for losses of methane digestion, storage and transportation etc, and should be considered as gross electrical energy production.
But for reference, 895 kWh is around 3-6 months of electrical power for the average American all-electric household.
You would only need to digest 2-5 communists/faggots/jews a year to power your house, and the solid waste can be treated to be used as fertilizer. The nation's problems would be over in a matter of months.
