Even though there is a good potential for clean electric power generation there in Scotland, I still believe internal-combustion engines are going to retain a role when it comes to close the carbon cycle. Due to all the methane generated by decomposition of organic matter in landfills and sewerage treatment plants, it would make more sense to use it as an energy source instead of just venting it directly into the atmosphere, considering that it has a longer half-life as a greenhouse gas compared to carbon dioxide.
