Inside Renewable Energy- June 28, 2007
Thursday, June 28th, 2007 As the largest operator of landfills in the U.S., Waste Management (WM) sees a lot of potential to generate renewable electricity. When waste material in landfills decomposes, methane and carbon dioxide are released. While most landfills burn that gas off, WM uses it to run turbines and create electricity at 103 of its 281 facilities. The company announced on Wednesday that it will create 60 more landfill gas to energy facilities over the next five years, bringing the company’s total electrical generation capacity to 700 MW. We’ll talk with Paul Pabor, Vice President of Renewable Energy at WM about how demand for clean energy is driving the company’s decision to expand its renewable energy generation.
Also in the podcast: Denis Du Bois, Editor of EnergyPriorities.com, has another Energy Minute on the success of renewables in the Navarre region of Spain.
Inside Renewable Energy offers the latest in renewable energy news and information.

News:
- Go ahead, shop till you drop! Climate Counts, a non-profit organization,
has rated 56 consumer companies, identifying leaders and laggers around the cause of global warming. The group hopes to inspire

Teenie Weenie GreenieÃïÂ
This week’s Teenie Weenie GreenieÃï comes from The Green Book and is to share your popcorn when you’re at the movies
instead of buying multiple cartons or bags. You’ll save money and packaging. Americans today consume seventeen billion quarts of
popcorn each year (54 quarts per person), 30 percent of which are eaten at movie theaters, sporting events, entertainment arenas,
amusement parks, and other recreational centers. If half the people shared their popcorn, we could save the paper packaging
for more than 2.5 billion quart-size servings.
A Visit with Mama Rose
Mama Rose talks vegetarian, grilling, and overall deliciousness. Check out her website Rose’s
Kitchen for great recipes and tasty ideas.
Healthy Egg Breakfast
Serves one or two.
- Tbsp. olive oil.
- One tomato, sliced.
- One clove garlic, sliced.
- Few torn leaves of basil, oregano or tarragon. Just one of these herbs.
- Two eggs.
- Parmesan cheese, grated
Heat the oil slightly, add the slices of tomatoes, garlic and herb, lower heat, and cook until the tomatoes are tender. Drop the
eggs in one at a time, sprinkle with cheese, cover and cook on very low heat until desired doneness. So easy and delicious.
Pizza on the Grill
- Low heated fire
- One prepared pizza dough
- Olive oil
- Favorite topping
Brush one side of pizza dough with oil, place on grill and cook until lightly browned. Take the dough off of the grill, brush the
uncooked side with olive oil. Turn the browned side up, and place toppings, return to grill, and cook covered until underside is lightly browned. Remove
immediately and serve.
Suggestions for toppings:
- Brie and mozzarella cheese with thinly sliced yellow and green zucchini with tarragon.
- Freshly sliced tomatoes, garlic mozzarella cheese, oregano.

YouTube page. - Save paper. Jillicious just found out that her local library lets patrons
‘checkout’ electronic books and e-audiobooks that you can
download for free! It’s a great way to save paper. - Plastic bag revolt. Holly loved reading about a British filmmaker who inspired her town to become the first in
Europe to ban plastic bags. The action has inspired a plastic bag revolt across Britain. - The beer is here! Virginia is excited about attending the Canada Cup of Beer, a Canadian beer competition.
- Environmentalism with a beat. Don’t miss out on a chance to win tickets to one of the Live Earth Concerts for a Climate
in Crisis. The concerts are part of MSN’s effort to raise environmental awareness. For a chance to win tickets, simply add Eco-Trippers
as your friend on Windows Live Spaces. - The downstream effect. Ed wanted to pass along and article about the downstream effect of rising corn prices.
