During these turbulent times of oil addiction and greenhouse gases, it stands to reason that man is awaiting the next King of Energy.  Just as years ago when we were addicted to oil from Whale Blubber, a shortage ensued.  And when we were at wit’s end as to what to do, a new source of oil came to our rescue.  Perhaps that is what is happening now – with cow poop.  So here are the reasons why you should embrace its arrival on the energy scene.

  1. Smells better than coal. Perhaps this is a preference thing, but if you have smelt burning coal recently, you will know what I mean about this.
  2. Converts easily to ethanol. Now some of you Moonshiners out there may be getting the wrong impression here, but let’s leave that to corn, shall we?
  3. Makes a great fertilizer. No one can dispute this fact.  Plants absolutely LOVE cow poop and so should you.
  4. Converts easily to methane. There just countless ways to use methane.  Perhaps you could use this methane source on your outdoor grill.
  5. You can cook with it. That’s right whenever you make cow patties, you can use them in a cooker instead of wood.  There are actually cookers designed for this purpose.
  6. Converts easily into electricity. If you can convert it into ethanol or methane, it can easily be converted into electricity from there.
  7. Renewable energy source. This energy is totally renewable with one condition – DON’T EAT THE COWS!!
  8. BONUS REASON:  Reduces greenhouse gases. That’s right – whenever cow poop is processed and burned as energy, you are actually reducing greenhouse gases since methane is one of them.
