I've been dreaming about this for years. Most people who hear about it think it's nonsense. You could even set up plants near landfills and deploy little Wall-E robots to dig up and transport landfill for syngas. Feeling like we'll see this in the next 100 years. Part of the reason there's little investment is apparently because the energy generation is barely above net neutral with current technology. Still though, even at neutral it seems like it would be good to clean up soil and create slag for construction. It would probably work best as a nonprofit/government project
