“Aquaculture produces wastewater and other fish-processing waste. These production processes generate organic waste that can be recycled. One of the most economically feasible recycling methods is anaerobic digestion to produce energy.” Jiqin Ni, @PurdueABE @PurdueAg

Americans with different perspsectives aren't yelling at each other, but here, they do. @CNN

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

Scott Jennings claimed I got in his face; Watch what actually happened in the full CNN segment.

He throws a personal jab... then folds the second he gets pressed.

Scott loves to dish it but can’t take it.

[Steve Koppes @mrmeteor]

This is why I don't watch this shitshow any more. @CNN

Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face”

Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars.
