{WATCH} Obama Wants Cow Farts Reduced by 25% by 2020
Brandy N Kay - 1/20/2015 - DC Gazette
I cannot believe this is a real story, but unfortunately it is and it will effect your bottom line. For now, cows and farmers both can breathe easier, at least until September and budget time rolls around again.
In January, when the ‘CRomnibus’ bill was shoved through, a rider was slipped into it prohibiting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from going after livestock farmers and penalizing them for the amount of methane emissions produced.
The EPA is working on a way to charge farmers a yearly fee of $175 per cow.
Cow farts make up nine percent of all methane gas on the planet, Obama wants this figure reduced by 25% by 2020.
Changing the diet of the cows from GMO corn to natural grasses would take care of a large amount of the problem, but would be prohibitively expensive. Being charged per head of cattle will also be prohibitively expensive. So, expect milk, milk products, beef, and pork to go up in price at the grocery store.
What concerns me is that the government funded labs are already working on a genetically modified cow that can stomach anything and not belch or fart. It would be in line with what is going on in labs around the world and would make transhumanists happy. Once they have these GMO cows out on the market, who knows what the side effects will be to consuming milk or beef.
