I do hope and trust that this thing will not create the sort of problems experienced elsewhere with these installations such as foul smells, slurry deliberately run off into water courses when the slurry system is overloaded or fails resulting in severe ecological and environmental damage.
See the American attempts at this if you disbelieve me.
Because Uruguay is owned by argentinians.

It seems to me they just want to get away from the thieving goverment.
8000 cows ingesting daily a (big!) area of annually fixed carbon should provide enough microbial gas to power the dairy enterprise, the lighting and much, much more.

I think I had better patent that. :o)
