I’ve thought about getting a motorcycle because they’re fun and fast and look cool and make cool vroom vroom noises and are cheaper than a car, but then I read about death statistics and decided against it. I personally have known one person who died on a motorcycle and two who were badly injured. Still might get an ebike tho.

In college I worked on a project studying this. You can run a generator off the methane but it requires filtering, which makes it less profitable, so most landfills and waste treatment plants just burn off the gas with a flare.
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. If you have any more questions for us, send us an email and we’ll probably answer it on a future show.
PS: The car show was cancelled but we’ll try to be at the next one.
