Why aren't WI dairy farmers doing this?
California cows start passing gas to the grid
On a dairy farm in the Golden State's agricultural heartland, utility PG&E Corp began on Tuesday producing natural gas derived from manure, in what it hopes will be a new way to power homes with renewable, if not entirely clean, energy.
The Vintage Dairy Biogas Project, the brainchild of life- long dairyman David Albers, aims to provide the natural gas needed to power 1,200 homes a day, Albers said at the facility's inauguration ceremony.
It sounds like it's a lot like What I wrote about here but instead of burning the methane to generate electricity on site, they're selling the methane to the gas company. Good idea.
So why aren't we doing this here in Wisconsin?
Not enough cows… CA has a lot more, a lot closer to a lot more people?
