Ron explains how that works.
41:22
Of course, the manure then goes into a pit liquid system, makes up a slurry.
41:29
Pull the plug, it goes into a huge tank, and then that tank then goes into the biogas.
41:35
So the biogas is a, uh, is a rubber balloon covering the, the pit, and then there's a corner where the gas is collected, and they use that gas to run a generator, which then runs their farm.
41:49
Sometimes they have enough to sell to the grid, and sometimes they, uh, just have enough to, to manage the farm electricity.
41:56
If they don't have that, then waste is either, uh, composted or waste is, um, you know, given to the farmers to, to spread out, or they have, uh, green land or farmland where they have big tanks that they spread the manure onto the land.
42:11
But the biogas, an- anaerobic digesters are very common on the large farms, and, uh, there was lots of support for that many years ago.
43:56
He considers his farm back in Canada.
4:08
Mm-hmm.
4:08
It's suffering in the best of sense.
4:10
It's not suffering in a negative sense, and it's suffering by choice at this part, at this time, at least in part by choice.
4:17
My wife, who to whom I was married for over 50 years, she was a beautiful woman, a caring, a giving, and a truly giving woman.
4:25
In a world of where we're surrounded by narcissistic takers, she was a giver, and she would sit next to you and immediately want to know about you and not tell you about herself.
4:36
And she was a feeler, and so she would wanna know, and she would do it in a feeling fashion, really, really trying to reach out in a very loving way, frankly, uh, to the person next to her, no matter who it was.
4:48
All right? So that was my fortune, uh, 50 years with this woman.
