In some places people are using cow poop is being used to make energy. This is done by a machine called a digestor. There are only two dozen in the United States. The farms that own these get paid by the electric company to run home in the town where the digestor is placed. The digestor also makes many byproducts as one farmer said. It heats his house, his milk house, makes bedding for his cows, fertilizes his farms, dries his corn and pasteurize the milk he feeds his calves. Not only that, it saves him MONEY. All the digestor does is transfer tiny bacteria particles to methane used for power, and it leaves behind liquid for fertilizing and a solid for cow beds. It was created so that there was a non-polluting way to get rid of poop, and a form of clean energy in which the U.S. is in need of. The only downfall is whether the machine will produce water pollution because of the run-off of cow poop from the farms. The process done by the digestor can be done with both cow and piggy poop. Even though it takes 20 days for one batch of poop to be completed it is still a large money saver, and a clean energy act. I'm sure their will be more used around the U.S.

Oil Spills & What Not.
1.) A containment dome is a 4 story, 7o ton structure that BP plans to lower into place over one of the three leaks to catch the escaping oil and allow it to to be pumped to the surface. Another method they wanted to use was to install a shut off valve at the site of one of the leaks. They also wanted to cement and seal the well to control the pressure from the oil and gas beneath the surface.
2.) Blowout preventers are devices that are meant to seal leaks. It didn't work because natural gas started to come through the wells.
3.) Halliburton and Transocean have vested their time and interest in this problem. BP leased the rig from Transocean and Halliburton was providing several services for the rig. Transocean can be faced with large overhang of investor worry.
4.)They need to be less worried about how much money is spent and more about the safety of workers and environment.
