Re: The Cow Tax - Enjoy Your Burgers While You Can


All that animal crap can be used to produce methane. One of the very NE states has a few of these electricity from methane from animal poop operations. They charge more for the electricity produced but they also have an expensive system. Methane can also be used to fuel vehicles and the cost should be near 15 cents/litre or about 57 cents a US gallon. Of course that would be without taxation but as an alternative fuel the taxes should be less than gas. Large plants could produce electricity from methane like Britian does and the fuel is cheaper than oil or natural gas.
This is one area where crap is useful.
