Now we just need more signatures.

As per the title, I'm curious of your thoughts on this concept. Methane from landfills are already used as a source of energy in many cases, but according to the EPA, a tremendous amount are not, and contribute 14% to the US's methane gas emissions.

I'm not terribly happy how the inventors of this tech are trying to keep it a trade secret, and their estimate that an installation will cost between 1 to 10 million takes it out of reach a backyard solarpunk from taking advantage of it (though it sounds like it could be DIY'd with enough know-how).

On the face of it, if it makes more landfills become viable as a source of energy to reduce use of fossil fuels, it seems like it could be a useful tool against climate change. The best case scenario would be that a local energy co-op is able to afford the initial startup cost to get it operational, ideally using repurposed engines from used cars.

What do y'all make of it?

Hi everyone! I recently migrated the Documentaries community from Lemmy.world to our new home at Lemmy.cafe. There's a longer post as to why here for another community I brought over, but one of the big benefits was the ability for the Beehaw community to join in and participate, as they are defederated from lemmy.world.

The Documentaries community is... Nah yeah it's just documentaries, innit mate? But it's good ones! So if you like a good little doc here and there, in between yer netflix and yer podcasts, well by gosh this might be the community for you!

We've got all kinds; war docs, environmental docs, history docs, science docs, even got some weirder docs that'll make ya scratch your head as your mind absorbs what ya just took in, like a drug, but informational.

Hi everyone! I recently migrated the MealtimeVideos community from Lemmy.world to our new home at Lemmy.cafe. There's a longer post as to why here, but one of the big benefits was the ability for the Beehaw community to join in and participate, as they are defederated from lemmy.world.

If you're familiar with the old MealtimeVideos from reddit, it's quite similar to that. But for those unfamiliar, the main draw of the community is that it collects high-quality vidoes, oftentimes edutainment, and provides the duration of the video in the title, so you can select one that will slot in with your breakfast, lunch, or any other meal!

Of course, you don't have to be eating to enjoy the videos, but meal watchers are the main demographic, I suspect.
