    According to Sustainable Conservation, methane digesters (a facility that converts cow manure into electricity) can be used to create:

    • Renewable electricity.

    • Renewable natural gas.

    • Renewable vehicle fuel (biomethane).

    • All of the above.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    Converting cow manure into renewable energy prevents harmful methane from reaching the atmosphere. This is important because methane on dairy farms accounts for the majority of agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions. If methane digesters were installed on most California dairies, they would protect the climate as much as taking more than one million cars off the road - about 5% of the state's total.
