Hi Larry,

Thanks for posting this article, which I read with great interest.

This is the kind of stuff that's been kicking around for years. Remember 
Ocean Arks? Seems these scientists at ISIS are getting closer to a 
sustainable 
system.

Raises many questions-since there's not a lot of details.

I'd like to know more details on cost, methods, amounts of methane produced 
by given inputs, etc.

In the article they were working with liter, and 5 liter sized digesters for 
their studies. Not very large:)

Also there was little detail on gathering manures, etc. I can see confinement 
type dairies working, but what about those of us who use rotational grazing. 
You can't just scoop of manure -- except perhaps in winter if you supplement 
your beef cattle.

This would be an excellent discussion for the list. Thanks. Frank in KY
