“The manure, which will be fermented with grass, will also fuel the new thermal plant’s wind turbines” – HUH? There’s a what now? Since when do wind turbines need fuel?

Maybe they meant ‘wind’ in the sense of ‘to pass wind’? If so, I think that’s a fabulous name, the ‘Manure Powered Wind Turbine’…

Natural sources? Since when is a cattle farm natural? And what about using the poop as fertilizer? So let me get this straight. We chop trees down to make farms. Then we use the crap for heat. Then we use chemical fertilizer on crops because we burned all the crap. Seriously, someone needs to save the environment from the environmentalists.

What nonsense!!! in India we have been doing this for ages, its called a “Gobar Gas Plant” and quite a few villages are powered by this given the vast size of our country and difficulty in supplying infrastructure to every nook and corner. its a very blatant plagiarism with no credit given to the source of the inspiration. but anyways well done as long as theres some good bieng done to the world.
