Based on the crap coming out of the county courthouse and Boise city hall, they should put one of these on both of those building’s roofs.

I don’t see any harm in the existing or future agreements for selling of the methane gas at the landfill. My understanding is the county provides the land and receives royalties for the Methane gas. Prior to this electrical generation, this methane was just flared off.

The county’s methane is way different than the city’s vacant land. The methane is a by-product of the landfill that needs to be handled properly. The city’s land is a by-product of speculation or over purchasing.

Too late on the landlord issue. The County already has a trailer park, a race track, a baseball stadium, a wedding venue (I think) and a raft rental place. Not sure if they are landlords for deli in the Courthouse.

To whom does the county think they will sell their electricity? I have heard that Idaho Power is extremely uncooperative in buying power generated by third party wind and solar generators.

Wow! That looks almost big enough to run my hair dryer. How much did it cost?

We could all just burn our trash in a stove: Heat for the house and hot water too, no trash truck’s air pollution and expense, and no landfill either. Crazy idea I know, but what if we had a super hot burning stove? I’m still looking forward to the nuclear home heater and car they talked about in the 1960’s.
