- Yes, Michael, but
-
- 1. What about the shadows the windmills cast on the solar panel
- field?
-
- 2. The key issue with methane is not how much land you need to
- compost it. The question is where you get the stuff to compost.
- There just isn't enough. You don't seem to be able to understand this
- even though you have been repeatedly told this.
-
- Just to try once more, how the heck do you intend to make biogas a
- significant source of fuel when there isn't enough material to compost
- to produce enough fuel to matter?
