[Digestion] United States biogas office

[Warren Weisman]

Hi, Tom, 

My thinking was something along the lines of what is
done in China, with a central government biogas office
that disseminates information out to branches building
digesters in the countryside. Their organization is a
thing of beauty and the reason for China being the
world leader in residential biogas. They send groups
to train villagers how to construct a pretty standard
pit-type 10 cu.m. digester. 

Right now in the U.S. there's no centralized place to
get information and we're having tons and tons of
poorly managed digesters fail and kill interest in
biogas.
