   That is a lot of animal poop. I think some of those people didn’t like the smell of it.

   The villagers have a mix accent.

   Biogas is excellent since wood burning is a health hazard and destructive. An example of a severe deforestation is Haiti .

   I thought of the same thing, it’s causing lots of global warming.

   If anyone missed this post, great one by the way, explains everything about biogas. One of my favorites. http://laovoices.com/2007/10/03/cow-farts-global-warmers-or-a-load-of-hot-air/

   Ginger, so you’re saying that methane, the principal component of natural gas, or the so-called ‘greenhouse gases’ methane collects in the sky and traps warm air around our planet? If this is so, then burning the gas might not pose a problem, I assume.

   i think it is good for saving energy that we are facing with shortage of energy
