"Greens" shoot to manure from a plasma cannon The Greens have completely gone mad. According to the BBC, a strange experiment is being carried out on a farm in Buckinghamshire, UK, where a lot of cow dung has accumulated. Using "artificial lightning" made from a plasma charge - a superheated stream of atoms that can destroy molecules - scientists are trying to rid cow feces of the most harmful components. Analysis has already shown that the treatment of manure with plasma is successful, the ammonia has been destroyed and turned into pure nitrogen. This is another plus for farmers, as the nitrogen used in the fields in the slurry is a good fertilizer. According to a BBC report, the treatment is so efficient that it can convert 90% of the ammonia to nitrogen. This will supposedly help combat air pollution in urban areas. The fact is that ammonia, when released into a busy urban environment, reacts with other air pollutants, creating toxic combinations that can have serious consequences for human health.
