Capturing Methane Waste in Mines and Generating Energy

The Caterpillar Company builds generator sets that have the unique ability to capture methane from coal mines and convert it into clean energy.

Methane capture from coal mines.
Methane and agriculture are the hot new renewable energy frontier.

Rural Recycling... put everything to good use!

It takes legal work, timing, and a marketplace to turn manure into "renewable energy". But are we there yet? Dairy farmers are adopting methane energy production techniques, but permaculture techniques might provide another layer of ecological permaculture.

YOU be the innovative judge. I mean, the "innovation" judge. Are we there yet? Or do we need to look deeper into the whole "system" of agriculture and see where those cows come from, what their stomachs have evolved over the eons to digest...and how we can optimize cattle feed, cattle manure, and our hunger for convenient, heat producing fuel and energy.

YOU be the judge. And the INNOVATOR!

Follow the money. Never take "science" at its word until you look into who makes money from the process, and who is threatened by a specific business sector's success. Knowing your business history is important to our very civilization's direction.

Are you ready to do your own research? At this point, I don't believe anybody! And no, I'm not really paranoid, I just have run into crooks, aggressive business strategists too often to believe that anyone has the public good at heart. "Eternal vigilence..." it still applies.
