"A broad coalition of livestock groups, #FossilFuel giants, #agriculture and environment regulators, utility companies, Republicans and Democrats, and a handful of environmental groups has coalesced to hail manure #biogas as a win-win, untapped source of renewable energy.
Stopping that methane is valuable to society, but with manure #biodigesters, the costs may outweigh the benefits."

@bethsawin Is this not more of a nuanced contextual thing? I've been starting to replace natural gas appliances for alternatives, and yet I'm also really interested in small-scale #biodigesters + #biogas stoves, rocket mass heaters, architecting better ventilation setups, etc. where appropriate.
The #electrifyeverything movement has to also think about #materialblindness , lifetime duration, rebuildability, electricity transmission, etc. or it'll breed it's own divisions.

The coolest thing at Larnach's Castle is the remains of the biodigester toilets they used to make gas for lighting etc. In the 1800s!
