Finland's government wants the country to turn away from fossil fuels and look towards horse manure to heat its homes instead, it's reported.
The new coalition's manifesto sets out plans for the large-scale use of horse dung as a renewable source of energy, the national broadcaster Yle reports. One energy company is already trying out a biofuel made by mixing horse manure with a wood-based litter, which is then burned to create power. The Fortum group says the annual waste created by three horses would be enough to heat a family home for a year. And with about 77,000 horses in Finland, there's the potential for more than 20,000 homes to become completely manure-warmed.

They use this to heat up the White Hut, right?
What happens after they run out of horse’s asses?
This won’t happen as long as we have elected officials who continue giving our country away.
Not exactly a new idea. The pioneers burned buffalo and cow chips.
LOL!
That's horse shit!
Oh goody, we ought to be able to heat half the eastern seaboard with all the horse*** coming out of Washington DC...
When they burn it, won’t it produce CO2?
You’re close.
BS ain’t the same thing.
Yes, but they didn’t have the EPA and Enviro-freaks crawling up their butts and shrieking “we’re all gonna die from Climate Change” .... Indians maybe!
The perfect solution for energy needs of Washington DC and surrounding area. They have a surplus of horse manure.
Much of Africa and India cooks with cow dung.
Moving forward to the 12th century.
The Finns mistranslation of the English phrase will have serious repercussions on their plan to better understand the “turd world”.
Going to have to look into this. With one horse and plans to obtain another one or two, maybe I could stop paying Dominion Electric and have the horses pay their own way for a change. Goodness knows they produce enough poop.
I'm pretty sure that must be The Won's plan here too. He hasn't said so, but he keeps taking away our fuel and all we ever get out of the guy is horse shit, so I don't know what else to conclude.
Isn’t dung rather smoky and dangerous?
10 million third-worlders can’t be wrong.
Why don’t they just burn trash like the Swedes?
