This is not a joke, but it is funny. It's also practical. c S7\,/4S

Argentina's National Institute for Agricultural Technology (INTA) has invented a way to convert cow flatulence into usable energy, and it involves putting a plastic backpack on a cow. u*;H$&

He doesn't think we're going to live in fart-powered cities before 2070, but he can "imagine a future farm with a couple of these cows used to provide energy to satisfy the farm’s needs." 6>rz=yAM_

Just fart-powered farms, then. Excuse me？ rFpYlMct
