Cow Fart Regulations Approved By California’s Legislature

[tyroneweaver]

I guess the Democratic Party really is full of shit......

SACRAMENTO (AP) — California’s Legislature has approved regulations on cow flatulence and manure – both blamed for releasing greenhouse gases.

The measure was approved shortly before the end of the legislative session Wednesday after its author, Democratic Senator Ricardo Lara of Bell Gardens, agreed to give dairy farms more time to comply.

The legislation seeks to reduce methane emissions associated with manure to 40 percent below their 2013 levels by 2030. Methane is one of several gases known as short-lived climate pollutants that don’t persist for long in the atmosphere but have a huge influence on the climate.

Cow Fart Regulations Approved By California's Legislature

The bottom line is if you're unlucky enough to be a business owner in California pack up and get out like thousands have done before you. The mental patients in Sacramento will keep doing everything they can to see to it you fail.

The headline is funny, and sounds pretty dumb, but what's so bad about limiting runoff from a substance that is clearly harmful to the environment? All cattle facilities constantly deal with storage and management of manure as part of normal operations, so what's so bad about doing it in a way that won't increase runoff after every rain? It's not like they are trying to prevent cows from farting in the pasture as was implied by the link title. .

ya, everybody wants to live in the country and then they don't like the smell and try and force out family farms that have been there for a hundred years.

Methane is 100x more dangerous a Greenhouse gas than CO2.

There are gases even more regulated than Methane as a greenhouse gas, that are as high as 24,000x more potent than CO2.

Do you think we should dump tons of those gasses into the atmosphere?

Are you talking out of your ass?

You literally don't know the greenhouse potential of various chemicals do you?

BWHAHAHAAHAH and you expect to be taken seriously?

How do you know that?

That was my point. Regulating cow farts, like the title implied, would be pretty stupid. The regulation discussed had nothing to do with that, though.

Except, it was....

...otherwise known as farts. How do you propose it's done, stick a catalytic converter up their ass? The only way you can do it is the reduce your herd. Then they can keep upping the ante until cows are all but outlawed. Then maybe outlaw beef products, it wouldn't surprise me.

If you think that's bad, imagine hillary's pantsuit after a couple hours.
California would be forced to ban hillary from entering the state.

The article is light on details, but as I understand it this is about manure, not farts. Sounds like a silly conversation, sure. However, apparently there is a lot of methane which comes from the normal breakdown of manure. Some farms have started using something called a digester to capture the methane from manure and use it for electricity. For example : http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/24/business/businessspecial2/24farmers.html

The title of the OP article seems misleading.

I'm not a Times subscriber, I'm not sure why people assume everyone is. Cows do fart quite a bit, nothing silly about it. The natural break down of their poop in the field is a fertilizer, they spray it around here. It probably creates methane but we get this stuff called food in return. That's the problem with these do gooders, they often only see part of the picture and want to pass laws to look good for votes and power. Money too.

Great quantities of methane are released from stored manure. There is a continuous release until it is completely dried. If you didn't already know this, you are pretty dumb. If you did, you're a troll. Either way, your remarks are childish, and deserve no more evaluation.

I'm pretty sure at least one article I looked at mentioned that the manure can still be used as fertilizer after being put through a digester to get the methane. Here's just a search link for articles about methane from manure : methane from manure at DuckDuckGo

I'm not commenting on whether the legislation is a good idea. I haven't seen exactly what is involved and it may well be overly intrusive. I'm just pointing out that this issue appears to be not about cow farts but about the methane released from manure.

The problem I have is:
A. They can't tell you how much it's effecting the climate of the Earth if at all.
B. It's going to be expensive, maybe very expensive for the farmers.

They'll either go broke or have to pass the costs on if they can sell at market price, maybe even have to compete with China.

...otherwise known as farts. How do you propose it's done, stick a catalytic converter up their ass? The only way you can do it is the reduce your herd. Then they can keep upping the ante until cows are all but outlawed. Then maybe outlaw beef products, it wouldn't surprise me.

Great quantities of methane are released from stored manure. There is a continuous release until it is completely dried. If you didn't already know this, you are pretty dumb. If you did, you're a troll. Either way, your remarks are childish, and deserve no more evaluation.

It get used for fertilizer. Fertilizer makes food grow. Your puss filled brain requires no further evaluation.

I'm pretty sure at least one article I looked at mentioned that the manure can still be used as fertilizer after being put through a digester to get the methane. Here's just a search link for articles about methane from manure : methane from manure at DuckDuckGo

I'm not commenting on whether the legislation is a good idea. I haven't seen exactly what is involved and it may well be overly intrusive. I'm just pointing out that this issue appears to be not about cow farts but about the methane released from manure.

The problem I have is:
A. They can't tell you how much it's effecting the climate of the Earth if at all.
B. It's going to be expensive, maybe very expensive for the farmers.

They'll either go broke or have to pass the costs on if they can sell at market price, maybe even have to compete with China.

I read about some farms that have added digesters for methane collection in other states. It was voluntary and I think they received subsidies for the equipment. In the case of at least one farm that used the methane to provide electricity, they also income from that.

I don't know how it will work in this California instance from the OP.

Apparently you really dont grasp the core of what the objection is about.

To wrangle over the question of whether more methane comes from shit or farts is beside the point. Cows shit, just like people do and introducing regulations on how much cows can shit based on the conflated concerns of a problem that does not exist is tyrannical, unneeded and harmful to the financial future of agricultural workers and owners.

If you think it is OK for the government to regulate how much cows shit and fart, why do you think that they cannot eventually do that with human beings for the same vaunted reasons?
