IF A COW GIVES YOU MANURE MAKE ELECTRICITY!
Environmental talks continue in Copenhagen. The U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said they have come to an agreement with the American Dairy Industry to reduce greenhouse emissions, that are given off by the manure, 25 percent by 2020. The farmers would capture the methane from cow manure that otherwise would be released into the atmosphere. Farmers would use a anaerobic digester to convert the cow manure into electricity. Agriculture makes up 7 percent of the greenhouse emissions in the United States.
