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

   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.

   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.
