"Captured methane gas 2.5%"

You know, I thought my electric smelled a little funny last month. Now I feel bad, I was blaming it on the dog.

That's an interesting breakdown. I wonder if the numbers will change month to month.

I think "captured methane gas" is methane from landfills that is being used to run gas powered generators. Our company has put in 8 in the last 2 years.

I didn't know methane could power a generator. Next time the electric goes out I'll just invite my dad over to keep the generator running. In fact, he could probably keep the whole neighborhood running.

You might be on to something. Get a lot of "methane producers" in the same room, and away we go
