Cow Farts

Sierra Nevada has won a lot of awards on effeciency. They talked about a methane recovery system for their cows a while ago. I don't know if they really tried it.

Now the cows eat the waste from the beer batches (Boiled hops and barley) and we eat the cows in the steak house.

Researchers are toying with the idea of growing beef (just the muscle) with stem cells. Now that saves a lot of energy!

Well I think that people don't really need to eat beef at all. Ground turkey is an excellent alternative to ground beef and it's much healthier and tastes about the same. Turkeys, chickens, and salmon are some of the best meats and I've heard very little about their environmental impact. But back to my point, if we just switch our beef intake to poultry, we'd have less cow farts. Though I'm not saying we should go to town with the poultry, we should still limit the amount of meat we eat, just eliminating beef altogether seems completely reasonable.

people can start being vegetarians or vegans so there wouldn't be so many cows born for food and milk products which would mean less cow farts!!

Cow farts produce so much methane that an area in the country where they raise cows can bge as polluted as a big city where there is a lot of car exaust!

I think that the main reason why the methane from cows is causing so much damage is their surroundings. Think of a cow pasture. There's not many trees scattered around, are there? Farmers clear out a large portion completely of trees so that the cows can have more space, but does a few square feet every 30 or 40 feet really make that much of a difference? I think the cows would like it much better too to have shade and resting spots from the trees anyways.(I'm a huge animal nerd)

ive recently come acroos a opinion that cows have never strived anymore better since we started taking care of them

This is an interesting idea that we at Cool Rock have discussed. The potential energy that is out-gassing from all the Cow's Anuses is huge! If we harness that energy in a tubular vacuum that hovers outside of the animals, we would be able to compress this methane and also reduce greenhouse gases.

This problem could be a Win Win situation for mankind. If we control the excretions of cattle and livestock, we could have more than enough fuel to recycle into electricity using clean energy. This would result in a closed loop of energy production and atmospheric protection. Imagine the energy we are losing everywhere, At Cool Rock we are proposing development of this apparatus to insert in the Cow's Anus.

We also have other ideas to make our energy production more efficient. Our recent work is about capping smokestacks over refineries and generating electricity from the effluent and heat escaping from these smokestacks..Check us out at Cool Rock!

If What I am is a Freak, Then Im Proud to be a Freak!! www.freewebs.com/animalsneedyoutohelp I blame Human mass-producers and What foods they feed the Cows.. as Usual, Humans are to Blame for yet another of Earth's Problemos! !

Todays landfills are tommorrows archaeological digs! 
Excuse me! I must go plant a tree now.

this could be a problem and i like the more natural feeding suggestions..as a sidenote do not feed cows steriods!!!

If farmers just fed the cows grass, then maybe the farts would be less toxic to the enviroment. Cows arn't ment to eat corn or grain, thats probably the reason that their farts are toxic.

Go Vegetarian!!!! Love, Me!!!

Just Because it Tastes good Doesnt make it Right!!!

Maybe if we didn't mass produce cows for our own consumption we wouldn't have so many... cow farts! There are just too many things wrong with the idea of factory farming animals that makes me wonder why we ever started doing such sick things in the first place. Eat some f*cking vegetables people

wow do you guys honestly think this is a problem???????

I think that is absolutely hilarious; cow farts make up the number one source of methane production. Gotta love it!

People actually beleive this cow fart myth? Maybe we can feed the cows "Soylent Green" and mix in a bit of Beano. Soylent Green sounds real nice huh? If you don't know google it.

umm... ?

I think all we really need to do to accomplish this task is cutting down on the total number of cows. Have you seen the classic family movie, "Babe"? (Based on the award winning children's novel, "Babe, the Gallant Pig")
Perhaps if we ran cows through a similar factory to prepare them for human consumption, we wouldn't need to worry about the total flatulence as much. Maybe the first step in this plan, is writing an award winning childrens book about a cow, and his affinity for horses. This might be a bit of a challenge, but I think after publishing the novel, Cow Farts will be a dilemma of the past.
