Did you folks see the article about Waste Management burying waste and producing methane gas from it, out in California I think, to the tune of 13,000 gallons per day at one location. I believe that powers about 500 vehicles from that NGL produced from that plant. That’s pretty good. I did not read the article well enough to report on it in great detail, but it is a dang good idea. I hope other waste burial site’s will consider building such. Also, money has been made available for an algae fuel production plant is Southern New Mexico from the brine and brackish water they have available down there. This is to power diesel engines, as I understand it. They say it is much better than using corn as a source and I think we can all agree to that. Corn is too valuable as a food source. Brackish, brine water is a great idea for producing fuel. Let’s hope it pans out. If I see another article on either plants I will pass on a little better post. Pete Hester
