Greenhouse “Gas”
Fill 'er up!
People are crazy. This is what it’s come to. I wrote about this months before but it was in the news again today. Seems that the livestock in New Zealand “emit” 90% of that countries methane! Now THAT is greenhouse GAS!
GREAT news. Scientists may have found a way to cut down on these offensive emissions! From the article:
“Our agricultural research organisation just last week was able to map the genome … that causes methane in ruminant animals and we believe we can vaccinate against (that),” Phil Goff told a conference in Paris.
For us, they are going about this all in the wrong way. If some farm animals (most, we guess) are releasing all of this gas, why not capture it and solve some of our energy problems? Gas-o-line is almost $4 a gallon with predictions of higher prices in the future. Why can’t we develop the cow chip engine? Running low on fuel? Head to a rural area and crumble some “chips” into your tank and you are back on the road!
Really. It’s a time who’s solution has come. or the other way around.
or something.
