He didn’t have any specifics for me, but when I looked around for “Dung Power” this is what I found.

The next energy source: Barnyard animals

Although not about the people in India, this is a cool article and it expanded my idea of what bio-fuel really is. There are apparently a lot of “digesters” out there that process manure and get methane gas out of it. These digesters have apparently been around in Europe and elsewhere in the world for a while since their energy prices are higher than ours, but it’s starting to catch on here in the USA. Even though there is a high initial cost, this is a nice solution because it solves more than one problem at once. Excess manure, and high energy costs.
