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.
