In the landfill that was sealed where I used to live - they generated
enough gas to heat the HS pool all year long and some other park stuff.
Some places in the East I'm told are mining theirs. Rich in metals of all
sorts and naturally glass.

In WWII my dad was sent first to radio school at the Navy's facilities in
Washington. They fueled their bunsen burners (among other things) with the
sewer gas from a nearby sewer field. Dad said it worked fine as long as the
flame didn't go out.

1:1 odds that some smartalec in the class deflamed it at least once a
week, eh? Ewwwwwwwww! Was anyone smart (dumb) enough to attempt
sending a flame back into the system?
