Cow Power!!! Electricity for 400 homes.
Yeah! cows to the rescue!
We have all heard of horsepower, but the farmer who rents the agricultural land on my property has gone one step further - cow power!

He has installed a couple of methane digesters that take the waste from the cattle (cow poo) and turn it into methane which is used to run electricity generators.Are you ready for this? - On this farm alone they will be able to generate enough power to meet the needs of about 400 homes!
Wow! What great green technology.
Our local paper, has given me permission to republish one of their recent articles about this, so you can get more information about this project on one of my websites:
