Yeah we need proper laws telling them they are responsible for all their own power needs and responsible for ALL environmental considerations.

Fat chance with the corrupt assholes in Columbus though.

One very small tiny nice thing about this is that Columbus feeds the city methane pipes with some of its recovered methane from the landfill. So if a part of this used to generate power, it will be a landfill-to-electricity path.

There's an irony that Columbus also had a trash-burning-power-plant build in the 1980s that worked on and off for about 25 years, which was a completely different path to turn trash into electricity. It had the nickname of the "cash burning powerplant" because of how expensive turned out to be to operate.
