Cow Poop for Earth Day

Earth Day is for helping mankind find alternate sources of energy to help stabilize our environment. Since methane gas has 20 times the potential than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, we must capture this gas instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. We can use this methane gas to fire up generators and produce electricity. This is being done on dairy farms in California by the use of methane digesters to break down cow manure. In the thriller novel, Green Power, this is exactly what the protagonist does. However, when an epidemic breaks out pointing to the methane digesters as the cause, the safety of this alternate source of energy is questioned.For more information, please visit the author’s website: http://www.freewebs.com/vrooman.
