As you mentioned earlier, it is an easy thing to collect fuel from that off-gasing. Human society has become inept and stupid, especially those who cluster in cities and need jobs to make them functional.I just moved about 1000 pounds of carbon away from the wood fence, to the Kiln area, so it can't light the house on fire.
Wish someone here at ICMag could hook me up with Goldman Sachs for some carbon credits.
I know a soil scientist that runs a compost facility that does not like to talk publicly about their CO2 generation. About 2500 tons a day, when they average 3000 truck-loads a day coming in.
If they had to pay for the carbon emissions on their compost, they'd go out of business.
I think in the long run, CO2 from composting will be exempted from the carbon police.
On the other hand, there really is some money to be made there. Hook me up Baby ! !
This is the part where I sit at my desk for an hour. Then I go in the bathroom and de-tick. I can feel one on my knee right now.
Caught a tick yesterday and fed it to a bird.
