Cow Manure --> Electricity
jmtpi writes "ABCNews has a story about a dairy farm in Minnesota that uses its cow manure to generate enough electricity to power the farm plus 80 homes and create fertilizer. There's also a more detailed story."

That's a nice generator...
FOR ME TO POOP ON!

Flying cows replace power transmission lines.
22000 gal manure per day/ 760 cows = 30 gal/cow per day
Doesn't that seem a little hi?
way to ruin the film for me, asshole. now i'm /definitely/ not seeing it.
If you're extremely patriotic, collect all the cow shit you can and store it in your back yard. You too can help reduce America's dependency on foreign oil.

I think you are confusing shit with hot air. Using the hot air would be closer to geothermal or taking advantage of temperature gradients.

What if we used human waste. No wait, what about the heat humans generate in addtion to their waste. What if we could harness the heat from people. We could power a lot of computers and use the computers to keep the people busy while they create heat. I'm going to start working on this right away.
The cow-body generates more bioelectricity than a 120-volt battery. And over 25,000 BTUs of body heat. Combined with a form of combustion...the humans had found all the energy they would ever need. There are fields, Neo, endless fields...where cow-beings are no longer born. We are grown. For the longest time I wouldn't believe it. And then I saw the fields with my own eyes...watched them liquify the dead...so they could be fed intravenously to the living. And standing there, facing the pure, horrifying precision...I came to realize the the obviousness of the truth. What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world...built to keep us under control...in order to change a cow-being...into this. (a battery)
Bah, we Indians have been using cow manure for a variety of things for hundreds if not thousands of years. I'm not surprised that there is even more useful things we could do it. It's been a replacement for Lysol and fuel. This method is also used in India called Gorba gas. :P

They laughed at us when we told them that cows were holy. Guess, whose laughing now?!

Soo, you have a mobile home that goes 75 mph?
This is done in India for hundreds of thousands of years. I have seen and played around one as a tiny kid couple of decades back. I am surprized that such a matured technology has taken Sooo LOOOONG to come to the US (in the 21st century). WOW !!!!!!
