Poop Used To Power California

cows.jpgA Californian utility PG&E is now using giant vats of cow poop to power the Golden State, Inhabitat reports.

Methane-powered generators are nothing new…but using actual poo?

The cow poop is collected in giant vats, where the methane is collected and used as natural gas. , the methane produced by cow poop is a very damaging greenhouse gas and a threat to the environment. But, maybe this poop harvesting can at least put that gas to some good use!
