    Plenty of gas still being burnt though!




    Indeed WHJ, gas still seems to be essential. Now if the methane could be captured from the big mountainous landfill site in Ghazipur in Delhi we would be laughing. It is not really a land fill site more a land rubbish mountain site. It is now 65 metres tall and methane fueled fires regularly form on it, taking days to extinguish. It grows taller by 10 metres per year. It is the size of 40 football fields. It could soon be taller than the Taj Mahal in Agra.


    About 2000 tonnes of rubbish is dumped on it every day, and there are concerns about its height. India's supreme court warned that soon red lights will have to be installed on top of it to warn passing jet aircraft.
