bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

Manure gasification is being introduced in Dane County, Wisconsin. One benefit of M.G. or what we call "Cow power" is to provide electricity to rural areas. If rural electric coops can adapt to technologies such as this, they will not have to worry about abandoning wood burning, if they are using wood burning. Gasification does not release the massive amounts of particulates that burning does. Rural electric coops are made up of human beings who worry about the lung and heart health effects of particulates as well as businessmen and farmers whose business and crops are affected by climate change, which particulates contribute mightily to. |
