Since the greenies and the NWO is trying to introduce bugs and get rid of cows along with cats and dogs lets look at pork aka Mr Pig!

[ex]Yes, pigs grow quickly. They also poop, 24 hours a day, in great quantities. That manure can be transformed into fuel for vehicles. So even though we’ve let all that pig poop — and cow poop, for that matter — go to waste all these centuries, more of it is being processed to extract methane, the principal component of natural gas. All over the country, this renewable form of methane is being collected and fed into the nation’s natural-gas pipelines, and then transported to fueling stations to be used as compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The fuel is not only much cheaper than petroleum-based vehicle fuels, it burns cleaner: It contains about 23 percent less in greenhouse-gas emissions than diesel and 30 percent less than gasoline. Capturing all that methane instead of letting it float away from farms is also important, since the gas is more than 20 times worse for the environment than carbon dioxide. There are some 191 renewable-methane projects on farms in the United States. These farms use anaerobic digesters, which involve storing the manure in tanks or ponds. The fecal matter, as well as food scraps and other farm waste, is broken down into smaller molecules, and the material usually is covered, to help elevate the temperature inside. That allows anaerobic bacteria (which don’t take in oxygen) to go to work on them. Methane is made as a result, and machines vacuum off the gas, cleanse it of impurities (like CO2) and ship it off to be used as fuel.

Have you ever seen that during hurricanes that the pig sheet reservoirs always flood over their retainment walls into a fresh water river? Well now they can take that stuff and make fuel out of it. Here's another article on it:

Pig power: A messy problem becomes a fuel solution

So look at what your government is doing for you. You would never hear the above that from those self serving radicals and you know whom I mean.

Let's hope the plant-based food industry comes up with a bacon-tasting bacon.

Pig power....so Mad Max was right. Cool.

No we didn't. It was used as fertilizer. Now the fertilizer that is already scarce, is converted to fuel during a man made fuel shortage.

I could not come up with a better ploy to damage not only the food and energy chain, but also the people (we all) that pay for all this double and trice.

Isn't this kind of like arguing that we have a a fuel shortage because so much oil is diverted to produce plastic?

Is it always an either/or issue?

Is it not possible to use "piggy-poo power" to make both fuel and fertilizer?

Fuel is not "made from" oil... the fuel already exits in the oil. It is refined out by fractional distillation. The heaviest parts of the oil are used to make plastics, while the lighter components are used to make fuel.

So that argument is shot right off the bat. Plastics are made from the parts of the oil that cannot be used to make fuel.

Not at the same time. You have to choose.

You can use a piece of paper to make a grocery list or to send a letter... you cannot use the same piece of paper to do both (unless you want the letter recipient to have your grocery list). The same poop that acts as fertilizer also is used, in its entirety, to make fuels, whereas the oil components that make fuel are not used to make plastics and vice versa.

Kudos to TDDAgain for saying what i was thinking. It seems so many experts know absolutely nothing nowadays, it is actually a little frightening.

Do not the anaerobic biodigesters, which produce the methane for fuel, leave behind the "purified" waste solids to be used as fertilizer?

So, in effect, the "lightest" portion of the waste is being "refined" to produce methane gas for fuel, while the "heaviest" part of the pig-poo remains to be processed into fertilizer.

This is as fluffed as the Food & Drug Administration. They allow companies to sell us junk food then offer the drugs to keep ones head just above ground and not yet in it.
