HypocrisyOverheard the other day: "I've told you before - stop swearing in front of the kids, for fuck's sake." Your tales of double standards please.

Meh, I'm not an expert on thisso go get it straight from the source: www.nationalgrid.com/NR/rdonlyres/9122AEBA-5E50-43CA-81E5-8FD98C2CA4EC/31630/renewablegasWPfinal.pdf
Given that these are the people that already run the grid, I'd hope that they know what they're on about. Which is a dangerous assumption to make, I know...

That actually refers to using bio digestersfor stuff like sewage and compost. Very good idea actually. But nothing to do with catching gas from landfills.
You can catch some gas, and a lot of landfills do, but it doesn't generate much power, it usually runs the landfill site huts and a small amount gets returned to the grid. Plus the point of landfill is stabilising the waste, which means you want it to stop making gas as quickly as possible.
Incineration is a much better idea.
