We are experiencing a severe energy crisis. Everyone is to set their thermostat to 78 degrees. We will have many blackouts. Everyone is told to conserve. Our water table is low, and we also need power for the water pumps.
Cows drink a lot of water, too.
When cows are out of barn in pasture, they make a lot of dust and dirt. Dairies have a bad odor. Any farmer and dairyman can vouch for this. I grew up on one and they are not dirt or odor free. Kern County and Bakersfield are listed as second in the United States for having the dirtiest air.
