Inmates to retrieve pallets from landfill to fuel "electricity"
Biomass plant in Carson City, Nevada planning on using pallets from landfill to provide power to it's correctional facility. (seems like a good idea)
The inmates will be used to recover the material from the landfill (another good idea) however the "State" will have to provide workers to do it in the winter. (huh?) Is Nevada's winters so cold that the inmates cannot be in the elements, but the State workers can?
"Tom Baker said the landfill, Carson City Renewable Resources, doesn't depend completely on the forest for the wood it receives because it gets items such as pallets and stumps. "
Mr. Baker does further state that there are several pieces to the "jigsaw"........ Read the entire article. Good idea, but I think it has a few glitches.

I know a lot of pallets and wood go to landfills daily. But, I must be sadly mistaken on what I thought was "a lot". I cannot imagine having that type of resource available from a landfill to fuel that large of an operation.
We use our scrap material to fuel the furnace that heats an 11000 SF facility and we accumulate all year. (Our crew works all year long)
