Wisconsin has a digestor project in the works- a community sort of deal about 30 miles north of Madison. Government partnership in building it and local farmers supposed to use it for manure processing, gas collected for heat and electrical generation. Madison has about 8 new sewer gas generators last couple year working with landfill gas to make some electricity. Part of this push for renewable gas powered electricity is to keep Dane county from being declared a high pollution area like S E Wisconsin around Millwaukee and having to inspect cars and the coal fired plants in City of Madison. Old style Indian and Chinese methane generators were simple and good for local use, better than raw sewage spread. Key points were local use of gas and treatment of the manure/sewage that was required anyway for health reasons. Some of the media people must think the plants are like the Mad Max/Thunderdome pig power plants- theoreticly possible by unlikely right now. Dairy farm methane generator units started as covered lagoons that tapped the gas to heat water required to flush and clean the milking equipment. Some proposals for generating farm electricity for use by town 10 to 50 miles away is a little expensive- but might interest a politician looking for federal grant money to help local economy in building it for a couple years. See what Amish do- they seem to be going green more than Al Gore. RN
