Fossil fuels?

Oil, natural gas, coal.

No matter what your local power company uses, they swap power and at some
point your electricity is generated by other fuels. The poster said it was
good to keep things rather than load up a landfill. While that is generally
a good idea, taking up space in a landfill is not so bad if you save using
up non-renewable energy for many more years. If you are a global warming
advocate, you are causing more greenhouse gasses also.

The question is one of balance between living it a cold dark cave or having
every luxury device ever made.
