+susieice Posted November 23, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted November 23, 2018 A year after this law was passed, it was still being praised. It is not supposed to be mandated until 2024. I just don't know how this is going to work. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-12-04/california-s-holy-cow-idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it would be impossible to actually measure such emissions it will probably culminate with a tax on dairy farmers- passed on to the customers, of course - of something akin to "carbon credits" based on the size of the herd. It's just another Liberal scheme to tax business. They have needy "immigrants" to feed, clothe, house, "educate" and keep healthy, after all. What was once rightly called the "Golden State" has become an intentionally failed state. It's sad to see what was once so vibrant and beautiful be torn down like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted November 24, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) It doesn't sound like those cows are going to be happy much longer. How can you stop a cow from releasing gas? I can see burying cowpies, but how can you stop them from honking? You know what happens! All animal life on Earth!

There seems to be some ways to do that. It's been looked at since 2014. Cattle are one of the earliest animals to be domesticated by man, thousands of years ago. Why all of a sudden? What happened? Is it the feed given to cattle? And what about other animals? Manure was spread by farmers for centuries as fertilizer. https://www.fastcompany.com/3028933/these-backpacks-for-cows-collect-their-fart-gas-and-store-it-for-energy https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/five-forms-alternative-energy4.htm https://suscon.org/project/cow-power/ Dairy groups are saying the cows release gas to keep them from exploding. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/aug/10/cow-methane-reduction-california-dairy-industry Wisconsin is also talking to it's farmers. Theirs is more about the manure. Here's a pretty good article. Sounds more expensive than most dairy farmers are going to be able to afford. Why do I see dairy products jumping in price and more imitation dairy products on shelves? https://accel.wisconsinpublicservice.com/business/methane_gas.aspx Edited November 24, 2018 by susieice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
