To produce energy, the farmer has to scrape up the manure, mix it with water, and pour it into a lagoon typically covered by an enormous plastic bag. When the mixture is heated, it produces methane, which is trapped by the bag, piped into a generator, and burned to create electricity.

These people are just pulling our chain, right? How are they heating this lagoon? The enormous plastic bag is probably oil based, the methane is piped by existing electrical power no doubt, and what is left? A lagoon full of cow$hit.

They should just shove a hose where the sun don't shine in all their cow's and decrease the overhead, it makes more sense.

You will be a millionaire, the state will have to pay you a commission on the money you saved.

The system produces its own heat. In cold climates, it is also used to heat the barns in winter. The system produces its own electricity. What is left is both solid and liquid waste. The solid waste is dried and used for animal bedding and the liquid is a high quality low odor fertilizer sprayed on fields.

Basically what this does is keep pollutants, like bacteria, out of the water system, turn a liability into an asset, and make farmers more independent. How could that be bad?
