KBIA News reports, both in audio and transcript form, a story about Columbia Missouri. The residents set a goal to meet for renewable energy and they met the goal set in 2004 a little over two years early. This project is intriguing. It uses methane gas produced naturally from (I assume) land fills/waste decomposition and harnesses this into wind turbines that will provide power to corrections facilities there. You can read (or listen to the audio) about it here.
I looked it up, and Columbia is not a small town. Their population is about 84,500. It’s intriguing to use the methane gas which is naturally produced and harness energy out of it.
Landfill waste should be removed faster by doing this yes? I had to google again. This article from UpNorthLive shows this is in fact true. Sounds like a win win situation?
Hats off to Kane Ferchman of Earth 4 Energy…he tweeted the news story today. His website is all about DIY solar, etc. I have no idea if any of that stuff works but that is also intriguing since the cost is so much less. So many good ideas out there. Peace Out – 3C
