It'll kill 2 birds with 1 stone. The only concern is the exhaust fumes. If toxic gases can be contained and managed properly, it does present a good alternative to fossil fuel and takes care of the landfill problem.As for bio-gas, I do recall watching on Discovery Channel (or NatGeo) on 1 documentary on how Brazil handles waste management and recycling. One part of the show was on how bio-gas was collected from landfills and used as fuel for powerplants. That does sound good on the surface of it but whether it's a feasible alternative here in malaysia would be the job for the government to explore and evaluate.There's also an initiative from Netherlands for houses to be fitted with solar panels, the power generated to be used by the household and excess power would be channeled back to the power grid. Again, it looks good on the surface but requires strong support from the government to get it started and moving.</blockquote>
