Comment:
In order to quickly and economically develop a large scale
bio-energy business, as well as to develop your proposed 'hydrogen
highway' economy, you may wish to consider the option of throwing
your entire municipal wastes management system into reverse
whereby instead of permitting more landfills, garbage
incinerators, composting plants and conventional sewage treatment
plants you would instead allow for the competitive development of
a number of hybrid pumped storage hydroelectric plants that
function as integrated solid/liquid waste recycling facilities. 

Such a plant would import liquid wastes to the storage to be
treated and recycled for electrolytic production of hydrogen,
and/or, for production of premium-value electricity. Solid wastes
would be rapidly converted, by use of proven steam process
technologies, into large quantiites of biogas and high quality
artificial soils that are then distributed and applied to increase
the productivity of plantation forestry sites, and/or, to maximize
the storage of carbon in soils, with a haul back of biomass and
other materials that are needed to support the bio-energy and
soils components of the system...

A basic system design is available upon request.
