Did you know that the average cow gives off 100 gallons of methane gas a day?

Wild video, always heard you can set the thing on fire, but this is one heck of a flame! You might have to get a permit from the fire department before you let one go!
May 'the Google' be with you!

Cows are female, and that's no bull

That sort of thing could be the next major weapon system. Even if it fails to ignite, it would still leave a mark on the enemy.

Two in the row, only my ex-roommate could do that.

I heard of wind energy, but this is a little different.

So many renewable energy types.....
Most are not that good to be honest, on a day with no wind, wind turbines are pointless, in the dark solar power is useless. Looks like it's back to burning coal again, <sigh>.

Coal is just stored solar energy (albeit for many millions of years). It's not that hard to figure out the generation, storage and release part you know.

Tides happen all the time, in a very predictable manner.

That is true. Good old tides! But did you know that the moon is actually moving away from us? Albeit by 1-4cm a year, it's a big move over time!
