Just read an article on converting cow manure to electricity...
I like this idea!
The farmers benefit from selling the energy their cows produce, although how long it takes to breakeven after they've invested in the (expensive) equipment I'm not sure.
I've always entertained the idea of renewable energy; so maybe cows are the key to reducing our carbon emissions? Although I'm a bit worried the article overlooks the fact cows produce crazy amounts of methane!
Well.... if you stay tuned with my blog you will eventually see me investigate the prospects of harnessing the power of farts as a suitable, and sustainable (as long as we eat meat, there are bound to be farting cows!) source of energy!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike! :D
