Methane gas from landfills just taught of Now!
Da.................................!
Someone is just waking to the fact that this now can be done?????
These were things talked about years ago!
Why the two landfills on the east side off of I-275 and Van Born Road have for some years just burnt it on site.
(Its just recnetly in the last coulpe of years I have not seen it). It was going on for weeks and months 24/7.
Also I've seen at the Marathon Oil Co. facility on the West side of Allen Rd.between West Rd. and Van Horn burn what I presume is propane on occasion for hours and hours a day 24/7.Perhaps close to a month or more at a time. While our gas at that time was always climbing both gasoline and natural gas. Yet during this time I read and heard how people were paying Higher and Higher prices for all gases.
Wake up and smell the roses to those who just now think landfills should be tapped for Methane.
Again I say to those come late Geniuses, DA......................!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expensive CFL Lesson
Brandy Bridges, a Prospect, Maine resident, went out and bought two dozen CFLs and began installing them in her home. When the bulb she was installing in a ceiling fixture of her 7-year-old daughter's bedroom crashed to the floor and broke into the shag carpet, she wasn't sure what to do. Knowing about the danger of mercury, she called Home Depot, the retail outlet that sold her the bulbs. According to the Ellison American, the store warned her not to vacuum the carpet and directed her to call the poison control hotline in Prospect, Maine. Poison control staffers suggested she call the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. The latter sent over a specialist to test the air in her house for mercury levels. While the rest of the house was clear, the area of the accident was contaminated above the level considered safe. The specialist warned Bridges not to clean up the bulb and mercury powder by herself - recommending a local environmental cleanup firm. That company estimated the cleanup cost, conservatively, at $2,000. And, no, her homeowners insurance won't cover the damage. Since she could not afford the cleanup, Bridges has been forced to seal off her daughter's bedroom with plastic to avoid any dust blowing around. Not even the family pets are permitted in to the bedroom. Her daughter is forced to sleep downstairs in an overcrowded household.
