In 1800 there was aprx 60,000,000 bison that roamed and farted in N.A. At 2000 lbs that is
120,000,000,000 lbs of farting animals. Cow population is 90,000,000 at 1400 lbs is 126,000,000,000. Non working Americans is 92,000,000 pay them to bag up.

And get CO2 and water vapor which are in much greater atmospheric concentration than CH4 is and thus might have more greenhouse effect to help remove energy in the upper atmosphere from the N2, O2, and Ar which do not radiate well. If the global temperature average is getting too large, please produce more farting animals.

My bad. Government, Lunacy same same.

Must of been a real fart smeller that came up with that idea.

No, there actually are some barns that have extraction requirements met for cows, and do use he methane to generate power on site.

I don't know, my wife raised dairy cows and we have horses and they both do toot a heck of a lot, horses physically cannot belch, and when they colic, if the twist a gut rolling, will die, basically by exploding inside. Lost one to that.

I know...just added commentary. I'll check out the link...Thanks

Yea, I heard about this guy...or creature...idiot's

The methane emissions from cows are the result of belching, not farting. Doing my usual wet blanket thing.

Tweak the design slightly, and one day we could be raising self-grilling beef.

For those that this the above is just satire, please check this website: http://condemnedtoexistence.blogspot....
and there are a number of other/related sites.

Thanks for the thoughts, I knew some people that had Brahmas, but they never had as much fun, but said they were better than Angus for dinner...

Cowfart Fuel Company (CFC), but the EPA is trying to ban all CFC!!!!! Oh my a deadly circle of death ensues...

I told you, I wasn't sure if Government or Humor, since most Government things can only be described as humor...sad humor maybe...

Black Cows Matter!!!!!!

Ribeyes for all! Uh, except Hindus....I wonder if they have made kits for pigs and chickens yet? Maybe there is a business opportunity?

Our skeletons as well...they think the earth is a living entity and we are just parasitic entities that kill it over time....I'd love to tell them...that means YOU TOO!
Let them be the first to self sacrifice...then we'll revisit their science to see if it's really settled.

So, what happens to all the accumulated methane in those collectors. Do they break the methane down into its component atoms< Or do they go to some secluded area and empty them when no one is looking? Methane is inflammable. Can it be used as a source of power? Perhaps you could modify cars to use the stuff. like for example, The newest Prius: "Run your car with COWFARTS" and help clean up our environment. "Be environmentally conscious, use the new BREAKWIND outboard motor." So now, bovines are double threat creature, they feed us and clean up the atmosphere.

How about calling this what it is - yet another push form implementation of UN Agenda 21, which includes no red meat consumption. Even the UN has admitted they don't care if there really is global warming, just that WE believe there is, for them to control us. In anthropology, one learns that when an area could not sustain the consumption of certain food, a religious taboo sprung up. Today, the UN springs up, because not every country on the globe can provide the same food for all citizens. That's life, move. We can't all use private jets to fly in caviar as do Bard and Angelina, so? Maybe we should ban movie star excesses and ownership of more than more than one multi-million dollar house. Oh, Agenda 21 has that figured, ban ownership of any property, let the government own it all! Hillary is for all this baloney!

So I have a real stupid question.

Maybe I missed something, but when they burn these accumulated cow farts to provide power to run that refrigerator, won't that send pollutants into the air from the combustion process?

First, we need a study to determine if black cows pollute as much as white cows, or black and white cows. That will determine the size and type of bag used for each race, er, sorry, type. Second, planning ahead, EPA needs to be brought into this early on so that they too can start collecting data for future improvements. For example, the collection standards can be nominal for the first year, but thereafter, the depth of the collection tube will be tightly regulated, so as to avoid any spillage or leakage. A committee shall be formed, with Jill Stein as president, to research technological improvements and to address any disproportionate impact on halal and kosher production and if the collection mechanisms will need rabbinical approval.

Yes, put them on bulls. Oh, and out in the forest (or in some places the parking lots) there are deer that fart. One for every deer! Yes, an absolute necessity.

What about noxious cat farts? Gotta put one on every cat. Or maybe give cats Bean-O pills. Ever try to give a cat a pill?

How about posting this under Lunacy

How about using them as headgear and require all politicians to wear them?

These cows are man-made and grown for the purpose of promoting civilization. They must be destroyed. Nothing short of our skeletons shall be left to polute the Earth.

But...but...but...I thought that global warming was man made! You mean cows are responsible?

Does that mean we can stop global warming if we all eat more beef?

I'm in!!!
