Cows emit mostly Methane and are the number 1 greenhouse gas polluters by sheer volume and numbers (more cows than cars on earth).

A Hydrogen emitting cow is a good idea but will take some pretty fancy genetic manipulation

Maybe, Toyota should avoid the middle man and all the engineering and just have us ride cows.

Do cows pollute as much as cars? - HowStuffWorks

I'm a cattle rancher. I take offence to this. Who on here eats steak and beef products?

Off to email Stephen Hawking to ask if this can be done! Maybe just catch one in a jar when they fire Hadron next?

Hmmm, as a Cattle Rancher I would think you would have gotten use to the smell, its quite stifling and if anyone in California has driven up the Hwy 5 past Coalinga by the stock yard, its hard not to vomit at the smell.
I speed up and hold my breath as long as possible on this stretch of road, but the police are waiting at the end of the stink zone. Seems like an inhumane tactic.

As a Hindu I take offence to your taking offence and suggesting people eat cattle, the most sacred of animals.

Joking.....

I think we should all do our part to reduce methane and eat more cows
