Landfill gas trendy "renewable resource"
Somewhere between ingenuity and avoidance, there's this:
The city of Denver wants to use landfill gases to generate electricity and then sell it to a utility. Plans call for the construction of a gas-to-energy plant that would burn methane emitting from the Lowry Landfill and neighboring Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site. Xcel Energy is poised to buy the electricity... The project would help Xcel comply with Amendment 37, a statewide renewable energy requirement that voters approved in 2004. Voters "wanted us to look at all renewable resources, not just wind and solar, and this contract with Waste Management will help us meet those requirements," Xcel spokeswoman Ethnie Groves said.
