I thought methane doesn't have an odor, thus utility companies add mercaptan to make it smell distinctive so you know you have a leak.

We bag it and sell it to local gardeners and pays for the feed. As for the smell well to me that's the smell of money $$$

Horses add a distinctive smell to their methane exhaust too, of which on average they produce 45 lbs per year, only about 1/3 of cows (there's a nice factoid for you). Not sure what their additive is exactly, but its not as bad smelling as human, dog, or cat exhaust....
There's a book out on the subject, Does it Fart? Another interesting factoid, snakes do but sloths do not. Who'd a thunk it....

The droppings of our wild horses here in rural NV are not very useful. They are so full of weed seeds that it can't be used in a garden. We just have to step around the road apples as we walk down the street.

Not so fast. Methane has roughly 30X the greenhouse gas effect relative to C02.

Sometimes I think you guys just don't have enough to do! As for us were hitching up the nags to the Pod and headed to a lake in the mountains for a few days to try to get away from this 90 degree weather. |

Better get an 8 horse team, that's generally what they used to haul prairie schooners in pioneer days, which weighed about the same as an rPod. They still only made about 15 miles on a good day so by the time you get to that mountain lake it will be fall and you can head right back to cooler weather.

Ford 150 5.0 L V8 ...originally pulled it with a Toyota 4 Runner but felt as if we needed more pulling power.
