Could cows resolve our oil dependency??

Question

Each year cows introduce millions of tons of methane gas into the atmosphere by the simple act of passing wind, in other words by Farting These farts add to global warming.as they rise into the upper atmosphere. This is not a good thing. However, there is redemption for the cow since methane burns very cleanly it could be harvested and used as fuel. Each car owner should own a few cows, which could be pooled together to form local gas stations This could well translate into lowering the cost of oil, making us less dependant on foreign imports. Consider that cow farts are a renewable resource. Cow Patties could also be used for fuel This is not Bull

Answer 1

Haha this is a creative idea. You should check into how much methane would be needed, and somehow find out how much methane a cow f**t actually contains. It might be smaller than you think. (Im not saying it is) But it would definitely take a whole bunch of cows to power this idea.

Answer 2

There's already farms that do this but it basically only meets their own power requirements.  So it's not anymore practical than solar panels and a lot more work.  Also, it'd be stupid to increase the number of cows because the amount acreage it takes to feed a cow is so great you could be using it to produce bio-diesel.   So basically no I don't think they could resolve our oil dependency because we drive millions of cars and don't have a billion cows or methane catchers standing by.  It would be smarter to invest in better batteries for cars and cheaper ways of powering them.  Like super-heated plasma fusion we spend next to nothing researching and the Europeans won't be done till 2016 building the next research facility for over in France.

Answer 3

Lets use all of the choices except coal, oil, natural gas and more refineries to produce gasoline.   I see why Hitler swayed a nation as this Green insanity expands with each passing day.  Keep repeating the story enough times, tell the public there can be no discussion of the subject.  And this is coming from journalism and history majory majors.  And their professors, of course.  Remember to boycott Exxonmobil.  Dont be fooled by the fact that they are closing all of their gasoline stations.

Answer 4

gotta start somewhere.

Arabs use camel chips for fuel... we can use cow chips too..

I've used cow chips on occassions, for fun. after 5 days of dried out in the sun, they don't smell in the fire.. although not enuff heat.
