Awesome! I'd advocate subsidizing electricity generated by girls peeing!

It's a fair cop guv.

The team decided to design a generator that ran off an alternative fuel that wouldn't harm users, and so began the tale of how four teenage girls in Nigeria invented a urine-powered generator to create better - and safer - access to electricity.

The after-school project sparked interest nationally and internationally after it was exhibited at Maker Faire Africa, and the girls now hope to partner with larger companies to produce the alternative generator on a mass scale.

That's what I'd call taking the piss!
