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."

I can also make fertiliser from cow manure.

Why are we still using oil? Why must we support oil tycoons when we can all have milk and power our homes at the same time? I am off to find Jack and trade him some beans for a cow!
In case someone would start a poll on this topic, I will go with the CowboyNeal option... :)
LOL... why is this redundant? Again, slashdot moderators fail in the humor department.

Did you read about the case recently of the woman convicted of child abuse because her vegan diet harmed her unborn fetus?
No, I did read a similar case about a two year old that was like 10 pounds or something. I think a vegan diet may work for some people but not for others. My daughter is two years old on a vegetarian (not vegan) diet. She is about a head taller than anyone else her age, not fat, and seems very smart for her age. She also has not been sick or to the doctor besides her normal checkups. If she showed any signs of ill health I would certainly reevaluate her diet. Most kids I know her age have colds or ears infections much of the time. She clearly is much healthier than her freinds on the McDonalds diet! Maybe we should start convicting people who feed their kids this crap.
You said "Whahism is the strict, inflexible interpretation of islam, and also has a side order of hate . It is larger to blame for what we have experienced ."
I think by the sounds of this you are a muslim, but I may be off in my assumption. I don't think I am way off in saying that it sounds like you know at least something of what you speak.
So my question is, if "Whahism" is the "strict, inflexible interpretation" of islam, then does it stand to reason that this is truly what islam teaches? Strict interpretation implies that these people are taking the literal meaning from the holy book.
If that is true, then would it also make sense for those that do not believe this or teach this are truly not muslim, but have developed their own interpretation of the religion and of a gentler allah? Would this in effect be similar to the protestant reformation of the Roman Catholic church into new Christian sects?
If that is, or technically should be the case, then would it not be in the best interests of the peaceable muslims around the world to declare it so?
I agree that the sins of christians from the crusades are abominable, but I think most would have to agree that those sins were committed in a different world, and a world that we have risen above. I use "we" losely to imply the more technologically, culturally, and socially advanced societies, those that one might term the more civilized nations. It is time for the muslims of those nations to help their brothers rise above this as well.
