{OT:} LFG: Think Green

Interesting show on the History Channel, Modern Marvels. They're talking
about LFG: Land Fill Gas. Land fills throw off Methane, a worse Greenhouse
gas than CO2. By tapping the landfill, they are able to collect the
Methane, keeping it from escaping into the atmosphere, and, in the example
cited, send it to a soybean proceesing plant that has reduced it's
dependance on LNG to near zero. The plant does turn the methane to CO2,
but in lesser amounts than LNG, and prevents the methane from venting into
the atmosphere.

so there.
