I remember reading many years ago that 'cows' were the main source of global warming. Is it true?

There's a guy I found on google...Mike Ewell that is a naysayer..Energy Justice Network. His opinion seems to me, after a quick scanning, that anything that combusts pollutes. He seems pretty cynical also about folks who are interested in pursuing biomass as business...spurious intentions... pursuing so called 'green energy' because its an easy way to get government moneys via five main advantages available to technologies that are labeled "renewable" energy: tax credits, subsidies, research, Renewable Portfolio Standards, and preferential pricing afforded to "green power." He seems especially disoncerted at how much money it has taken away from wind energy research.

Its a very good question krz.

Other researchers: see: the Common Purpose Institute, University of Florida, U.S. Department of Energy, Power Providers, (an interesting public and industry research partnership) claim that energy crop (a specificly cultivated fuel) contains hardly any sulfur and much less nitrogen than fossil fuels and less mercury than coal.

Poor us humans. so naked and small and deviously smart...why couldnt we be more like the bear...Gary Snyder has a great essay on this. I have to remember the title.
