Is a wind turbine still a clean source of energy if it’s powered by fart?

How hard/frequently would one have to fart in order to spin a turbine and generate electricity?

    It's more useful to burn the farts, as they consist of almost pure methane - the same ("natural") gas that we in the netherlands cook on. It's also a greenhouse-gas worse than the water and CO2 you get from burning it

    I don't know but if a cat was farting at it you would need an array of at least 50 cats anuses pointing straight at the blades, No terrible efficient and smelly too.

    No because a fart is primarily methane gas which is a green house gas.
