Re: WORD (about HyBrids)

A few years back I remember reading a story about a farm that had a huge storage type building with a pit and it was covered with a Bladder. The gas from the farm waste was piped to a generator and used to provide almost all the farms power. The heat was used in the buildings and greenhouses in the winter and dumped outdoors in the summer.
