I was just wondering what the general thoughts where on this devellopment, does anyone think it is something that will contribuate anything in the battle against greenhouse gasses or is it is a waste of time and money, which could be better spent?

Do you have a reference?
Incidentally, strictly speaking, it isn't the cows (or sheep or other ruminants) that produce the methane but the microorganisms in their guts ... wonder if these people are changing the gut flora?
