Why are you laughing at Green Energy?

Using Pig Manure for energy has all kinds of benefits. It is a great way to treat the waste, and reduces the odor. Plus the farmers now get paid for the energy they create.

Of course its not perfect and there is still more to do to perfect the technology but its a good idea, and Rick Perry, at least in this case, isn't wrong.
I saw a homestead on TV that kept the pigs under the house and they had a direct methane line up to the kitchen.
