== ==

You can use it to power lights and power biodiesel cars and cow wastes can be used power homes .check out this video
== Some advantages of biomass energy is that you can power a car using the waste and energy from the plants. There is alot more like it is a inexhaustible fuel source, and it is available throughout the world. == == ==

Disadvantages
= Some disadvanteges are it could contribute a great deal to global warming and it is quite an expensive resourse to use. It is also a great contributer to global warming because it heats up the planet and pollutes the earth.

Cows if you are a farmer you will take care of your cows and clean up after them everyday and they are a great deal to biomass energy contributing electrical energy through their waste.==





**pictures of biomass in action**

==These are some biomass energy factories. The car below is a really cool and expensive biodiesel car. These pictures are picture of biomass plants and factories also is a picture of a bio diesel car made of biomass. A biodiesel car will help you in the long run because you will not have to pay these crazy gas prices. Biomass factories is where this resource is made.==
