Oh, and keep it clean and don't step in it, Please. We just shook the rug.
For years we have cleaned up after out 2 Goldens wishing there was a market for this Shifft.
Two men enter.
One man leaves.
Who runs Bartertown?
Did not the plains indians burn buffalo chips?
Hell, we have five cats who download enough Tootsie Rolls daily to keep Helsinki's lights on for a month. How can an animal that small produce so much crap so fast?
San Franshitsco is the Mother Lode - from two-legged animals.
Too bad all the animals will be dead because of the methane gas they release. Let’s watch this play out.
Commonly known as “fertilizer.”
What unintended consequences could possibly go wrong.
“Järvenpää power plant”
That was their plan all along. In English “Jar ven paa” means “Use we poo”.
I compost the grazing animal stuff and try not to step in the other.....
If it is self-sustaining and economically viable, I would be all for this, but I doubt it is. Biomass (the traditional kind) on the other hand seems to have more economic viability.
The downside of both is the loss of good soil.
This is a prescient novel comparable in some ways to Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Every FReeper should be REREADING both of these books if he/she hasn't already.

Buffalo chips burn well, according to pioneer settlers 150 years ago.
I read a paperback on “home” power generation back in the late 1970s. This type of gas was mentioned, adapted from what farmers in India were doing at the time.
A neighbor had some hippie relatives living in the Adirondacks, and they used chicken poo as a source of methane to power one of their vehicles.
I once lived in a town that had a closed landfill. The methane gas was channeled to a handful of stacks (”flares”?) that simply burned it.
The waste company did a study on the energy content of the methane, and it was too poor to sell as is, BTU-wise, as well as too poor to economically run any electric power generation equipment.
These numbers reek of horse poo.
100 tonnes = 110 US tons. That’s 220,000 pounds of poop.
I just HAD to look it up...a 1000# horse will duece 50#/day. So it would take 4400 horses to plop 100 tonnes in a day. How many horses at this qualifier? How many days?
I don’t know what Finland’s road loading rules are, but here 55 tons (110,000#) in a container will have smokey knocking on your window. And that’s just net load! Legally only 80,000# gross allowed here. Permitting is another matter.
This smells.
The pioneers moving westward across the great plains used buffalo chips for fuel.
We to are remove cows & horses from Earth due methane farts, per the wackos.
Now they say to raise more to burn their waste.
What is clean about it? :)
I am a bit confused. According to climate experts AOC and little Greta, cow flatulence is pushing us to destruction of the planet in barely a decade. From my experience horses are as flatulent as cows. So if we are to generate “clean” electricity from animal dung, wouldn’t the flatulence of the animals from which we harvest this dung be destructive to the climate? So is dung produced electricity actually “clean and green” or just pushing up the certain climatological apocalypse we are promised will happen in little less than a decade unless we embrace socialist fascism? We must consult little Greta for her wisdom on such matters.
