Subject: Iowans won't benefit from the Manure Gold Rush
Comment:
Methane Digesters are nothing but a Greenwashing scheme. Factory farms need to be dismantled and outlawed, not encouraged to become bigger by the law passed by the Iowa legislature last year, HF522. HF522 allows factory farms to increase their herd size if they install a methane digester, but while the methane travels to California, the manure STAYS IN IOWA, polluting our land, air, and water. The water, of course, doesn't stay in Iowa--it travels into the Mississippi River and into the Gulf of Mexico, where it creates huge dead zones. Let's face facts. There is nothing "renewable" about methane gas from factory farms.
