Greg … question #3 shows that you don’t understand enough to ask question #1. The chicken poop is put in a container with some water but not much air. Bacteria eat the poop and fart methane. Methane is the fuel output that is used for cooking gas and heating gas in much of the industrialized world. However, when the bacteria get done they leave behind something called “bio-solids” … poop that even the anaerobic bacteria won’t eat. Those solids (sludge) are what I was inquiring about for use in agriculture because aerobic bacteria could likely continue the process of decomposition and carbon sequestration.

Another great way to reuse something into an energy source. There was a tv show that talked about using grease from restaurants as an energy source as well. Hopefully more of these types of sources will continue to pop up and eliminate our need for dirty sources of energy.

With the winter months setting in thick and fast I have noticed the difference in my energy bills compared to last years, I have been with Scottish Power ever since I moved into my house 4 years ago and am scared to change as I have heard all the horror stories.

I find this very interesting. People from other countries are stating how Americans haven’t a grip on how to conserve. Do these comments come from the same people that use the technology that America created? Hmmm. Yep. Tell you what, since you want to poo poo Americans so much, why don’t you just give up everything that came from us. That would be like, computers, radios, oil (yeah, we pioneered that), nuclear power, velcro, phones… Oh, and the internet. Sure, we have things that we are not proud of, so do all your countries. but don’t be that near sighted. It just shows that you haven’t thought, just put down the “emotions of the minute”.

And, by the way, Rome is still the center of the world. Look at a map.

Well I’m impressed. And I am nobody. Just a simple Canadian. As far as I’m concerned any new way to produce energy is a good one. Why not explore? See whats out there…..see what can be used? Because we all know the resources we abuse are coming to an end. As for you ingnorant Americans….please stop talking….until you know what the (simple) word “Hydro” means. Or is that just “Your” Southern States ignorance…you know…One bad apple…can spoil a bunch…so on..Educate your own Country before you try to educate others!
