Given that this involves disturbing the bottom of the pond, and that burning methane still produces CO2, this may actually be less environmentally friendly than just using gas.

Methane is estimated to be an order of magnitude or two more powerful than CO2.

That's if you release the methane, not if you burn it; assuming you burn all of it, the resulting CO2 is the bigger concern.

You're talking about a guy who is trapping methane that's already being released and burning it.
