They said it is twice as efficent as a fossile fuel generator. (Natural gas fired diesel)

But the real savings is getting rid of the transmission grid. The transmission grid has a loss of around 50%. (half of all power generatd is lost on the transmission lines as heat.)

Of course if you are say a farmer (they use a lot of electrical power and your raising say hogs, or cattle the methane gas can be used and thats completely free. Imagine a large vegeatble processor using the bio gas that is now discradred.

Just an FYI: The US has MASSIVE natural gas resources.
