I don't have any cows (horses are much less efficient methane producers I think) but I also heard recently that manure particulate, which contains ammonia, is also a nasty air pollutant. Good thing my farm is very small scale. Much of it goes into the garden as mulch, or to my neighbors. Anyone need some manure? :o) Rich --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:
If you're really concerned about greenhouse gas production, it's the cows that we have to modify, not the cars. Fossil fuels will be depleted in only a generation or three, forcing a much cleaner hydrogen-based economy (so we're told), whereas meat and dairy production, and husbandry in general, will be around for much, much longer. Methane is a byproduct of feed consumption, right Rich? What's that ratio? ;)
