Thanks to the solar heater, a shower is a daily possibility, and the biogas digester -- which converts human and pig waste to a clean gas that can be pressurized -- has enabled cooking and lighting.
Case in point: a scene from the upcoming documentary Gasland, which features a man lighting his faucet water on fire and making the ridiculous claim that natural gas drilling is responsible for the incident.
Lighting fixtures are fronted by coppered metal pieces shaped like a sketch of a gas lantern, while a similarly drawn shield motif decorates the walls.
