Dairy farmer making his own electric.

[Jeff H]

Theres a dairy farmer in norther MN that makes his own electric. His fuel source is manure. The manure is put into a digester and heated up to 95 to 100 degrees. This will create methane gas wich will supply the fuel to his generator. He produced enough electricity to sell to the co-op and made about 4,000 dollars. After the manure is done releasing methane gas it is then spread out onto the fields. The manure odor is considerably less too. This has not yet been tested with the hogs yet. But thats what they looking for next to test out.
This would be a great opertunity for farmers.

Sounds like a crappy deal to me... .....

Sounds like that farmer really has his sh*t together!

Good thing, farmers need all the edge they can get these days. Here, homes push over farms because of the smell, don't get me wrong, but that smell has to beat the city. Now the tree huggers will have to dig-up another item to fling s^!t at. #ad

Maybe we can gather a few New Jersey politicians. I think we'd be able to solve California's problem with them alone as a supply.

This California thing is kind of scary. Its not even HOT out there yet and look whats going on. The people who read our (CAT's power modules) chrystal ball are predicting the same thing on a wide spread basis throughout the states before the year is up. I also see where the Worlds largest oil drilling platform sank into the ocean killing 10 people yesterday. That will put a hurtin on the energy also. Didnt OPEC cut its oil production down for April too? Things are going to get U-G-L-Y I think. I sure hope I am wrong.

Don't worry about that oil rig that sank, it produced only 80,000 barrels a day of oil. It is alot as far a Brazil is concerned (the gov owned it) but not alot in the big picture. Besides I am up here far North of the Arctic circle drilling an oil well for you all right now. You keep buying Diesel and I will keep drilling holes to find oil.

Speaking of Brazil and alternate energy, anyone heard of the tree that grows in the rainforest down they call the diesel tree? You can tap it like you would a maple tree, the sap is read to use diesel fuel, only needs screening.

Havent heard of that tree, big oil would probibally buy them all anyway. #ad

I'm giving bio-diesel some serious thought... .
