Imagine how dramatic their lives can change if this is implemented. As people we need to think out of the box !

But seriously, why can't we use our own manure? I think we have to create opportunities not obstacles. Some people will be ready for this and some will not. I think the American culture need to catch up with UK and Canada. They are so ahead of us in terms of environmental living. This is very fascinating! But seriously, why can’t we use our own manure?

I mean don\'t you think it would transverse the power and money over to the people who own cows? and yes, i know there are billions of cows and there\'s TONS of methane \"product\" to go around, i mean a lot more than petroleum itself...but would this really be a better solution to a recession and how poor people are becoming from the high prices? i just i don\'t know. but i believe in this possibly helping things out. the next thing we need to figure out then is how to get cow poop to power vehicles... yes, this is a great story/research, whatever…
