Fatbergs have been considered as a source of fuel,[12] specifically biogas.[13] Most of the fatberg discovered in Whitechapel in London in 2017, weighing 130 tonnes (128 long tons; 143 short tons) and stretching more than 250 metres (820 ft), was destroyed, but some of it was converted into biodiesel.[7][14]

I'd be helping renewables! (joke)

Still, what a big boy that bastard must have been to behold

And taxes paid for this to be removed because people are lazy and put things that dont belong. Down the drain...

well if we just allowed Thames Water to dump more toxic chemicals, it would have easily eroded fatberg before it became a problem

why can't we just let people make their own uninformed choices for their own short-sighted personal gain?
