Kristen just read an article in her Ranger Rick magazine called High-Energy Ducks....makes me wonder if we couldn't do the same thing with all those darned Canada geese.... :jeffd: ha...I just realized what you named this emoticon...good one, Ben!
Can't imagine who would want to go collecting all of it though...imagine this conversation...
"What does your daddy do?"
"Oh, he deals with $%&! all day...."
Don't we all? :lol:
High-Energy Ducks
What can you do with a load of stinky old duck doo? How about turning it into power? That's what's happening in the state of Wisconsin. A big farm there piles tons of duck manure in a special barn. As the duck poop rots, it gives off a gas called methane. The methane is then burned and made into electricity. A power company called We Energies buys the electricity and then sells it to the people of Wisconsin.
We Energies burns mostly natural gas and coal to make electricity. But these are valuable "fossil fuels" that have to be drilled or dug out of the ground. The duc-doo methane burns just as well, and it turns waste into something useful. How's THAT for poop power?
