High
Tech Alternatives To Garbage landfills, Oil & Coal!
POWER
is working to rid our country of toxic landfills and to
supplant the age old practice of burying garbage with the new waste-energy-technologies. Through the employment of the new technologies, this country can
permanently free itself from dependence on foreign oil, dirty coal and make
toxic landfills a thing of the past. Landfills are the largest manmade source
of methane gas emissions, roughly 8% of greenhouse gases. Here are just a few
of the high tech garbage-to-energy companies that can be built in any
industrial park.
