#1 The environmental activists are 'torn' on this.

On one hand, this process is efficiently producing electricity in a 'renewable' way.

On the other hand, it does stink some and it's MEAT!!!!

#2 anaerobic is one way to deal with industrial quantities of manure

the other way is to compress, heat and use chemicals to produce a petroleum type product;

since methane prices are way low these days (compared to oil), the 2nd process (which is more capital intensive) has that advantage
