Other biowaste: exactly. My city has been doing this for years. Pipes stuck into the public dump syphoning methane into a co-generation plant (i.e. using both clean natural gas and waste-generated methane), and supplying power to our local grid. It consoles me to know that as I shovel my rotton leftovers into the garbage (and grass clips, and leaves, and I guess they mix it with sewer solids too, those geniuses) it will all return to me as light in the not-to-distant future...
