Going Whole Hog on Green Energy - Shades of Green Co-Founders Discuss Alternative Energy

Everyone wants nice pretty green energy from the sun and the wind. But how about using pig crap? No, we are not suggesting you hook up a bunch of pigs to a treadmill with a generator and put a big bowl of sloppy cornmeal in front of them and watch'em light up your flat screen TV. We are talking turning pig poo poo into voltage! You say it is impossible and the idea stinks? Well, our guest Lloyd Lipman and his company Ellington Environmental Energy (E3) say not only is it possible, but it is a super solution that reduces pig and other animal waste from the environment from agri-farms, reduces carbon an methane emissions, protects waterways, and generates - please excuse the euphemism - a s**tload of electricity. So, hotshot, doesn't that idea smell great now?
