Oink: Dominion Energy Turns to Pig Poo for New Methane Supplies

We bring you the following story purely for your (and our) entertainment. Dominion Energy, a huge company with its fingers in many energy pies (pipelines, LNG exports, power generation, utility company), is teaming up with the world's largest pork producer, Smithfield, to "harness methane gas from thousands of malodorous hog lagoons." That is, they will capture methane from pig poop and use that methane to "heat homes and combat climate change." (Excuse us while we get up off the floor from laughing so hard!) The story comes from the well known fake news purveyor Washington Post, so we can't be 100% sure of its accuracy. But we'll go with it, simply for laughs.
