If this can be done with human waste...

"Vt. Dairy Farmers Use Manure for Energy"

They use the same thing for brains on election days.

I'm all for your idea, but I'll balk at the bedding part.

Sounds like some clever folk up there. I'd love to see more creative energy solutions. Hopefully some powering cars. I'd love to get off of oil eventually to leave those camel riding SOB's with nothing but sand.

Composting generates heat, but I don't know how that could be converted to energy other than heating x square feet, and it would take a lot of compost to do much, but I wondered about it.

I'm thinking they are getting tax incentives and low-interest loans from the government for this project; I doubt if they are fronting all the money themselves, but I could be wrong about that.

The Europeans did something similar, primitive though it was. They brought their animals in during the winter and had kept them under their living quarters. That generated some heat and manure, probably didn't smell very good, but at least they probably didn't have to deal with flies in the winter.

The odor from confined animals is awful, and the flies in the summer are unreal. Not something you'd want to live around. Another way to heat your living quarters with manure is to cook with it like they do in some (can't resist this one) turd world countries.

90% of that manure is supplied by these four jackass Vermonters:

Howard Screamin' Dean


Bernie Socialist-next Senator from Vermont Sanders


Senator Depends Leahy (Communist-Vermont)


Judas Jeffords, Idiot-Vermont

I wondered where HowWeird Deaniac got all of his energy.

Only problem for Deaniac is the awful side affects of schizophrenia and depression.

If it can the demcrats are going to be rich.

COW POWER

"cows munch contentedly on a mix of hay and silage while they make an occasional contribution of fuel for the Audets' power plant"

anyone who has been around cow barns knows this should read: "they make CONSTANT contributions...: LOL. They are walking poop machines.

Using animal waste for energy has been around for decades. Chicken sh*t has been used to heat chicken barns,etc...however, the power companies don't cotton to these lost revenues...

[RipSawyer]

They make enough electricity to power 300 to 400 average Vermont homes



methane is piped into an adjacent shed that contains a big Caterpillar engine that powers the 200-kilowatt generator.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, an average Vermont home uses less than 1000 watts of power?
