If the land is free (huge tracts of government owned land in the desert) that would virtually offset the cost of the dome. In addition there would be other benefits to having the cows local rather than cutting down the rainforest in Brazil to give them a pasture. The US government generally collects about 40% of revenue as taxes when all is considered. Therefore it would be a money making operation for the US government to give the land (that they have no other use for) free of charge. |
Cow domes in a desert to collect farts up top?
Great idea.
But don't those cows need to eat?
