Gasifiers are one environmentally responsible way of dealing with those wastes resulting from sewage treatment and agriculture (not just chicken poop). The resulting methane can then be used to produce electricity thaT in turn can be used to power the treatment plant, County offices, pumping stations, water reclamation plants, etc. Stop trying to bleed the same people for tax revenue and put some of those Northampton County employees to work looking for grant money! We need to think ourselves into this century and beyond. Water reclamation would protect our aquifer situation and our water quality in the Bay and tributaries. These technologies I have mentioned require engineers and highly trained individuals — positions our children could pursue upon returning to the Shore. We could become a showplace and great learning center for the east coast while protecting our valuable resources.
