Why, thanks again, John S., my local landfill/recycling center saves $10,000 per month on its power bill that way; they stuck a pipe in the bottom of the old landfill and run it to a generator shack. The owner, 4th generation, showed me when he was walking the yard.

I was on a back road in Midlands, TX; from where I was sitting, I counted 31 flareoff stacks. Each one was millions of pilot lights' worth of gas, all of it just going to waste. We really could be doing all of this so differently.
Diesel electric, todays standard for railroad, proves it.
My dad was a coal tender on the old trains, and yet there is still a place for them too, such as in Nepal and the Himalayas. The one-size-fits-all model of the Greens and the corporates is a bloody crime against nature.
Funny how almost no one is aware trains are electric and the huge diesel engines are the generators.
If anyone is interested in seeing the most amazing recycling/power generating operation I have seen, it is the Olmstead County operation in Rochester, Minnesota. They burn garbage at over 2,000 degrees and generate electricity and provide steam heat to a lot of government buildings. They extended the life of their landfill by 125 years which is significant in that area because it is mostly solid rock a short distance down which is unsuitable for a landfill. Unlike most places they can't just put them anywhere. If anyone is going to the Mayo Clinic and looking for something interesting to do while there, this is worth seeing.
