Not Ranked : 0 a solution to yet another problem that may not exist? Warning! Political Content! You may be in the wrong forum! OK, this is just getting to be too funny... U.S. Counting on Cows to Reduce Carbon Emissions U.S. Secretary Tom Vilsack announced an agreement with the American dairy industry Tuesday to reduce the industry's greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent by 2020, mostly by convincing farmers to capture the methane from cow manure that otherwise would be released into the atmosphere. The plan calls for persuading more American farmers to purchase an anaerobic digester, which essentially converts cow manure into electricity. The problem is that, so far, only 2 percent of U.S. dairy farmers are using the technology, mostly because it is too costly for family farmers. FOXNews.com - U.S. Counting on Cows to Reduce Carbon Emissions Better mousetrap, cheaper cow crap composter...someone could become a millionare here. Imagine being heir to the mbwmn cow crapper fortune! I think we need to borrow a few million to "rebate" farmers as an incentive to purchase a few more of these. Do they follow the cows around w/ big pooper-scoopers? Future Fanatic, how many of these do you have? (I just spewed coffee all over the keyboard w/ visions of Future and Kilgore as 'Master Blaster')
