[Mpls] Recycling Organics-- Partial Answer to Exploding Energy Costs

[David Strand]

One partial answer to exploding energy costs is
recyclying organics to make gas for heating and other
energy/power needs.  The Green candidates have been
discussing this and exploring it's real potential. 
The rising costs of energy make it a no brainer as the
cost of energy from this source on the scale of the
city might be cheaper than traditional sources now and
also would reduce the rate at which landfill space is
used up.

Other localities have already been investing in this
technology and it's another way to address the
energy/waste costs of our city.
