President Obama is turning to poop as his latest gambit to fight global warming.
The White House is announcing $6 million in grants Monday to promote the use of a mix of garbage and/or animal feces to produce a renewable form of electricity to help fight global warming, as the president sets his sights on reaching a global deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions in Paris in December.

"Such actions include promoting soil health, improving nutrient and manure management, protecting sensitive lands, and encouraging renewable energy."
