Create a fuel stream FOR renewables in our communities
Biomass/biogas powered engines are one of the best ways to make constant, good quality renewable energy, even at night. the problem is that they need a consistent fuel supply. Enter the food waste problem. If we had 3 garbage cans...one for recyclables, one for food waste, and one for other, we could divert organic materials to a digester for gas production. This gas could then power an engine and make baseload power.

To make biogas you need organic waste and digesters. Luckily, humans make tons of organic waste everyday through the process of eating. We just need to take the baby step to create a consistent supply of that food waste for use by a CHP power plant. Create a fuel steam and renewables can be implemented. This is the BIGGEST hurdle for modern non-solar, non-wind "renewable" adoption.
