Big Oil and Big Ag are teaming up to turn cow poop into energy — and profits. The math doesn’t add up. US climate policy has led to a surge in manure-based “biogas.” Critics say it’s propping up factory farming.

(3/x) Biodigesters are a form of #greenwashing. At best, they are a costly use of #climate funding: #Biodigesters cost $1,130 per #cow per year but generate just $128 worth of gas. At worst, they expand a brutal factory farm system by incentivizing dairy farms to grow: www.vox.com/future-perfe...
