By using a methane gas digester, he is able to convert cow dung into electricity, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating enough power to even make his electric meter go backwards. Not only does this innovative system benefit the environment, but it also saves him an estimated $6000 a month in electricity costs and offsets the expenses of recharging his electric car.\n
