I am quite happy to see projects like Smithfield Foods biodiesel project , but it is incomplete, I see nothing about producing electricity on a utility scale, and there are no cost projections on the produced fuels. You state that there will be many more projects of various megasizes to follow, which in effect agrees with what I said "I am totally in favor of anaerobic digestion, but energy production costs are hard to determine because there are no consistent large scale projects." Show me the large finished projects and fuel production costs.

I have been aware of landfill gas power production for years, and am also in favor of that.

You are obviously against windpower, but show me no logical reason why. Again, this need not be eiither/or. We need all of the energy production we can get. Wind power is produced for .05 a kWh, and is as clean as you can get, except for solar. Farmers want them for the royalties because the windmills take up a small percentage of their land. Power companies like them because they use no fuel and are now very low maintenence. Only the uninformed like you are against them. I know of no plans to place them in neighborhoods. What a silly thing to say. They work best in open plains and offshore.

Ill guarantee you that the propeller pushers will not be out of business. Costs continue to drop, and the wind will be there as long as the sun shines.

The coming years will prove who is the ignorant one here. I'm not the least bit worried. You should be.
