Cow Power

by Rob Friesel

Via /.:

Central Vermont Public Service has launched Cow Power, a system by which power users can opt to buy 25, 50, or 100% of their electricity from dairy farms that run generators on methane obtained from cow manure. Cow Power costs only 4 cents/kWh more than market price, so a household like mine would only pay $5-6/month more at 100% usage. The big question now is whether Vermont-based Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream will use power generated from the manure of cows treated with Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone.

Beats Cat Power…?
