Crave Brothers Dairy Farm has teamed up with Clear Horizons to run a computer-controlled anaerobic digestion system that generates electricity—enough to run their rural Wisconsin farm and cheese plant and power up to 120 homes from the organic waste of their 750 Holsteins.

If this spreads to the stock farms, poultry farms, and pig farms we could be in for a revolution. Human sewage can be treated the same way, as can much of our biodegradable garbage. A fellow in Canada runs his car on the gas from anaerobic digestion and apparenty the sludge left afterwards makes excellent top soil builder and fertilizer. This is the type of win, win solution America needs to lift the shackles of OPEC and the Arab oil bandits.
