This article is so much crap. All of the arguments are based on global warming arguments. Methane comes from decaying plant matter in a landfill but the plant matter all came from carbon dioxide.
The thing about methane being a greenhouse gas is more malarkey. Elemental carbon is the 4th most abundant element in the entire universe, yet in all its forms it is at best the 14th most abundant element in the earths crust. The difference is caused by methane which is lighter than most atmospheric gases floating up to the upper atmosphere and getting carried away by the solar wind. It doesnt have enough time to make the earth warmer.
the landfills in our area all resell the methane as fuel.
One of them has an 18 hole golf course on it.
When I was a kid, I lived in a housing projects where we’d stuff our fuel down a trash chute into an incinerator that was used to heat the buildings.
There is an electronics recycler that had a building that all of a sudden was closed. Turned out they moved into a larger ( huge ) facility nearby. They mine the electronics for precious metals..
The rest of the recylers in the area are closing their facilities.
So will we eventually run out of carbon? ...and hydrogen for that matter?
