Comments on: Groundbreaking Held For Landfill Gas Generator That Will Power Over 900 Escambia Homes http://www.northescambia.com/2010/02/groundbreaking-held-for-landfill-gas-generator-that-will-power-over-900-escambia-homes Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 14 Apr 2026 12:42:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Molested http://www.northescambia.com/2010/02/groundbreaking-held-for-landfill-gas-generator-that-will-power-over-900-escambia-homes/comment-page-1#comment-33960 Molested Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:52:10 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=14890#comment-33960 My point David.Is that Gulf Power will be getting green tax credits and maybe sale this energy as a green power at a higher price. But is it real? In other words are they creating more CO2 than would have a occured normally. I think you may have missed the point. They maybe creating more CO2 for the financial write off. Gulf power has more capacity in reserve even if they purchase additonal power from and IPP. One additonal unit will be more than enough power to supply the 900 homes on any given day. So while supplying power with substantial power reserve. The additional Gas generators may in fact be creating additional CO2 than the normal decay process. GP is taking advantage of the current laws and govermental give aways. They are not saints to the environment.

That would obviously depend on the amount of organic matter involved but all biodegradable materials eventually are broken down into carbon dioxide and water. The methane is just an intermediate step due to lack of oxygen during decomposition and all the methane will be burned into carbon dioxide and water. So really the thing is that they are extracting useful energy from something that's going to happen anyway. David full of gas REGARDING:

Grants? Loans? New Taxes? New Fees? Thank you. Will you tell me how this plant is to be paid for? Grants? Loans? New Taxes? New Fees? Thank you.
