Doodie Saves

...what?
     So, there's this guy-Steve Reinford- and he uses his cows' fecal matter to save him money.  Well, it costed him about a million bucks but that was three years ago and he's happy with the work this machine has been doing.
     What is this machine, you ask?  Well, IT'S CALLED AN ANAEROBIC DIGESTOR.
And what does this digester thing do, exactly?  It turns cow poopie into energy. 

     What makes this really awesome, other than the fact that his name is Steve like the guy from Blue's Clues, is that instead of paying an electric company money every month, they send him a check.

     I don't know about you guys but I'm thinking about becoming a dairy farmer. 

I'm getting off topic again, sorry.

     So this digester machine takes all the bacteria and turns it into methane which can be used as energy.  Then the machine leaves the farmer (Steve) with liquid poo and he can use this liquid-y poo to fertilize his land.  It also leaves him with some solid something that he can use for the cows' bedding and stuff.

     Some people doubt this poo power but even Chesapeake Bay Commission Executive Director Ann Swanson says it works. 
    
"The longer we look at it, the more it is going to make sense," she said. "When you look at the different types of energy, some of them, like wind, are non-polluting. However, none of them, other than this one, reduces pollution. And that is pretty amazing."

So yeah, doodie saves the environment, money, lives, friendships, marriages, and polar bears.
