Manure could heat your home
March 8, 2018, University of Waterloo
 

Farm manure could be a viable source of renewable energy to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing technology to produce renewable natural gas from manure so it can be added to the existing energy supply system for heating homes and powering industries. That would eliminate particularly harmful gases released by naturally decomposing manure when it is spread on farm fields as fertilizer and partially replace fossil natural gas, a significant contributor to global warming.

Riiighttt! Burn dried crap, just like our plains ancestors did in treeless areas. Without a subsidy, this will not be viable.

Okay so we have one group of green weenies trying to eliminate cattle because they say they are detrimental to the Earth and another group of green weenies who come up with a plan to use cow shit to heat homes? That's about as intelligent as the liberals plan to use taxes on tobacco to fund health care and programs to eliminate tobacco use! I'm curious, does Rob Reiner have a hand in this too, because that would explain a lot.
