Thanks, Horst,

For the reference on polyethylene methane digesters. Interesting -- I had=

no idea they could be done so cheaply! Apparently, in addition to removin=
g
methane from wastes (with little or no loss in fertlizing value),
sugar-rich vegetable wastes can be fermented for alcohol prior to methane=

digestion, again with little or no loss in either fertilizer value or OR
ability to produce methane (Mollison, Jack's notes).

Maybe what we need is a Democrat in the White House...
