No, this is not a fart joke although it may sound like one.
White House looks to regulate cow flatulence as part of climate agenda
Quote:
As part of its plan to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the Obama administration is targeting the dairy industry to reduce methane emissions in their operations.
I have NO idea how they will handle this udderly daunting feat.
I know somewhat about cows and biology, a bit about methane, and some engineering. Personally I think its going to take something like cyborging cows to do this. Not that our modern dairy Holsteins aren't practically artificial life anyway.
Or maybe engineering gut microbes to utilize that methane.
