California dairy farms are curbing methane emissions by converting cow manure and other organic waste into biomethane for electricity — but environmental groups say it's harming vulnerable communities and entrenching unsustainable animal agriculture.
Gonna need a source on your 1000x. I can find 27.9x the potential, per unit mass. I think my point still stands: they’re taking a problem and merely converting it into a different form of the problem, and calling it a solution.
“Let’s take all that yucky methane released by cows and make it fuel!”
“It keeps the carbon from entering the atmosphere.”
“Engines I suppose”.
“Exhaust?”
“CO2 and NOx and SOx.”
“The atmosphere.”
“I have a new fuel revenue stream.”
Methane is roughy 1000x as potent at global warming as CO2.
You may not like cattle farming, but take the win.
