Christopher Helman writes on Forbes how Warren Buffet’s $10 billion pipeline deal is doing environmental double duty helping Dominion Energy turn acres of manure into clean power.
- Over the last 15 years, Dominion Energy has slashed its emissions by 52%.

“Over the next decade, Dominion aims to invest $650 million into agriculture-derived gas projects. Smithfield will contribute another $250 million. The expected result: 8 billion cubic feet per year of livestock gas—thus preventing the emissions equivalent of 3.5 million tons per year of carbon dioxide.
