Trenance Farm sits at the extreme southwest spit of England, six hours from London and a kicked clod from the Celtic Sea. It's a dairy farm whose owners, Kevin and Kate Hoare, still milk their cows by hand, 120 bovines, twice a day. But the Hoares are also working with some of the most vanguard climate technology on the planet.

Remember that scene in Back to the Future where Doc Brown pulls up in a flying DeLorean sports car, stuffs a bunch of garbage into it for fuel and blasts off?
