"Killing two birds with one stone", for want of a better analogy ! Methane from rotting rubbish, for instance - if used as fuel instead of being let into the atmosphere - is a "double whammee" since, Ii believe, it is a far worse GHG than CO2. Spending a lot - creating a great Green Show - if it is on equipment that does not perform well - is worse than doing nothing. "Modern windfarms" are the prime example of this.
