Usage???
It is use for…– Refined to heat up homes or generate electricity

How many???
½ batch of manure converts to only about 9 ounces of oil

History???
In 1970’s, U.S. researchers attempted to turn wood and coal into oil. – The cost was too expensive, so they dropped the
idea– Once oil price dropped, the idea of turning pig
manure into crude oil was less attraction – Oil price dropped to $20 per barrel

Now???
Its cheaper…– The price jumped back to $40 per barrel• The people go back to being attractive to turning pig manure into oil because it is cheaper than buy the oil barrels.
