Farmers might consider adding seaweed to the diet of their cattle because it will reduce the methane output by the animals by 80%! The research has been revealed in this article:

But before we get too excited we must not make the usual mistake we humans so often do when scaling up to meet a demand:

So if we can add other uses of seaweed we might say, ‘Hey! Here’s another good one!’

This reminds me of the sand battery I included in a blog some time ago:

So before a great idea can become a grand solution to our desire to save the planet, first we must do a study of an environmental cost benefit analysis to avoid harm.

For example, a sea salt battery might be a better solution than the sand battery:

And Sweden has been building a green steel plant:

Let us hope that is successful. But let us not forget our triumph of mining iron ore historically has done great harm to human health and the environment.
