How to make Gas from Crap

This is when entrepreneurs celebrate for the rising price of Gas....This technology is widely used in India and other countries, but was never implemented in America, simply because it was a Laughable joke on whoever tried to propose such Crap.....Well, Crap is Money

Poop-power is not a new phenomenon, as methane-powered generators have existed for a while, and even larger scale developments have used poo-power as a way to meet energy needs. But powering a state with poo? This is exactly what Californian utility PG&E has just started to do, by creating natural gas from a vat of liquid-cow poo, in what is probably the smelliest (but smartest) way ever to produce any form of renewable energy.

The thought of decomposing cow poop might elicit some gags, but the fact is, the methane produced from it is no laughing matter. As manure decomposes, it produces methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas, dozens of times more damaging than CO2. This is why controlling methane emissions from animals is key in the fight against global warming, and capturing methane for natural gas might be a perfect 2-for-1 solution to that problem. (Of course, encouraging less meat-eating might be a more obvious and easy solution to this problem, but of course, since it seems impossible to wean Americans off hamburgers, this scheme might just be the next greatest thing)

What a crap idea..
Well someone had to say it.
It kinda relies on having cows in the first place.If there was a biological problem..mad cow disease even.

Would it be an efficient way of ensuring all the methane released by those walking fart-machines is trapped? I dunno.

HahaHaha Hey Father Simpson, there's money in this crap thing, why don't you try it, you will change your mind when the bazookas $$$ start piling up.

Yes, definately, it works well and ordinary rural people in India are making big bucks selling their own Crap Made Gas.

Check out this link :

Biogas technology provides an alternate source of energy in rural India, and is hailed as an archetypal appropriate technology that meets the basic need for cooking fuel in rural areas. Using local resources, viz. cattle waste and other organic wastes, energy and manure are derived. Realization of this potential and the fact that India supports the largest cattle wealth led to the promotion of National Biogas Programme in a major way in the late 1970s as an answer to the growing fuel crisis. Biogas is produced from organic wastes by concerted action of various groups of anaerobic bacteria. An attempt has been made in this review on the work done by our scientists in understanding the microbial diversity in biogas digesters, their interactions, factors affecting biogas production, alternate feedstocks, and uses of spent slurry.

They did a project on Top Gear which involved running a car off crap (via a cow) and the cost of keeping the livestock, the feeding, the crap converter worked out to be the same as running a normal car.
So for me this is unlikely to be the 'silver bullet' we're all looking for alas.

WHO ....OWN....BARTERTOWN???
