We could help Harmon with his alcohol production:

Cattails
Pond
Algae
Still
Heat
electric

cattails ==> beer (for lack of proper term)
--- Do we get CO2 here, if so we feed this to the algae

Maybe from the cattail trash (after beer) wpould make gasifier fuel for
the still. The charcoal from the gasifier goes into Terra Preta.

The algae goes into the digester to run an engine to make electric for his
plant. Maybe he needs some lights, gages or wants to listen to the radio.

Or the CH4 is used to heat the vats. Well, that's if you need to keep them
at some kind of temp.

CO2 from the digester goes back into the algae pond.
