Subject: RE: BS: Free electricity from humans!
I read about some vat in India where they put the collective cow poop and got maybe methane...surely it can and is being done.

I think we absolutely have to look at our garbage situation and our fueld situation as opposite sides of the same coin. I think garbage needs to be taken care of by separation of components, burning, composting for methane or whatever rather than burying it...can you think of the toxic mess that is going on, under great pressure from the coverings..the diseases that could be brewing from all the cat litter and baby diapers? I think absolutely for sure that they could make a car that runs on old baby diapers...

And I think that cows and their methane problems have led to a series of other problems..not least of which is the decreasing health of Americans, many of whom are of Northern European descent and therefore probably co-evolved with dairy products...so we need all these cows, we need good healthy dairy products from grass-fed cows, and if the experts say that nature can't take care of all the manure from reasonably housed cattle, we need to turn the manure into fuel. It's not new technology...can't they make methane cars?
