A farmer i Pittssburg is using cow manure to not only power his dairy farm but also to produce electricity to dozens of his neighbours..
The manure is obtained from 600 cows , it is dropped into a 16 feet deep and 70 feet wide contraption called The Digestor, here it is heated up for 16 days
This saves this man US $200,000 dollars a year

Gobar gas plants not only product clean energy, but also excellent manure! there is some initial expense to set up the plant, but once done its good for a long time! esp with all the climate talks going on, its one good option for everyone esp in the rural areas.
