There are homes all over California and Arizona that produce a SURPLUS of electricity and sell it back to the grid, just from solar panels alone. If communities could invest in, or be built around, a biogas plant, that would make the community become self sufficent and be able to sell their own energy surplus to other customers. The idea is possible today, there just aren't enough breaks for consumers to make them attractive or worth the effort.
