Holy cow! Patsy’s poo powers plant

Yes, it’s true, cowpats are being used to produce electricity at a processing plant in Israel. The facility consumes some 600 tons of the finest dung in the country, which it converts into methane and uses to power turbines and generate some 2 megawatts of electricity per hour. ITN has the story:

“The processing plant in Emek Hefer, the heart of Israel’s agricultural region, is the first facility of its kind in the country and the largest in the world, according to its developers.”
