It makes good economic sense to make use of this otherwise underused resource.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, however, when Darbee was asked to compare manure sourced natural gas with anthracite coal, he stated that the natural gas burns much cleaner, since the coal produces a whole lot of carbon dioxide \u2013 unlike natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>Say what?<\/p>\n<p>At first I thought this was just a misspoken comment, and that he surely meant that coal produced lots of other pollutants such as sulfur derivatives, nitrogen oxides, and other stuff, whereas natural gas produces primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor.
