Energy Crisis Solved!!!!!

According to the National Academy of Sciences, each cow generates between 80 and 110 kilograms of methane each day. Now that's something, considering that the average cow only eats about 10 kilograms of food per day and the energy content of that feed is less than half that of methane on a kilogram per kilogram basis.

That means that cows produce more than 20 times more energy in methane than they consume in feed each day.

Tah Dah! Instead of reducing the amount of methane that cows produce, we simply need to capture it. Then we can tell the Saudis to kiss our butts.

Of course, it's just possible that the National Academy of Sciences is wrong.
