This is not so wild an idea as you suggest. I remember reading a few
years back about a fellow in France who piled up a huge mound of waste
wood chips and drove a pipe into the center of it. As the termites went
to work in the pile as well, I suppose, as bacteria, the methane they
generated escaped through the pipe and was captures in inter tubes which
would be inflated from the pressure of the gas. He claimed to be able
to collect enough gas from this rather primitive system to supply his
cooking stove.

Ahh, perhaps we could collect the methane and use it as fuel!!!
imagine whole plants full of farting cows and termites harnessed to
generate the worlds energy!
imagine the smell!
it would have to be constructed in new jersey, it already stinks there
anyway.
