Poopy Power

A single cow can produce 120 POUNDS “poop” a day. That’s more than an average 6th grader (not poop, the poop weighs more) . The EPA says of 1998 cows make 54 BILLION pounds of manure each year. Now imagine that 54 billion pounds of poop turning into 54 billion pounds of fuel. Annually. But there is a down side. To make the poop into fuel, the man with the poop would have to pay $5,000,000 to get a machine to do that, and pay $30,000 annually just to keep it up and running. The energy is also not as efficient. It would take 10,000 cows to keep a computer running. That’s 1,200,000 pounds of poop to power ONE SINGLE COMPUTER. Also, the cow poop is bad for the environment. 21 times worse than normal gasoline. So let’s see this in the future. Every family has a power cow. Or two. Or three. Or four or five. Or six. Or seven. Whatever the number one of those cows is pooping over 26 gallons of methane into the atmosphere. And it wouldn’t just be one cow pooping that methane. Remember how it takes 1,200,000 pounds of poop to power a computer? One cow can’t produce 1,200,000 pounds of poop in a day. Unless its got some weird laxatives to produce that 10,000 cow, 1,200,000 amount of poop. So the pollution would be catastrophic, and the energy would be scarce. So unless this idea of poopy power can advance, it’s a stupid idea right now.
