Not 5% of garbage, 5% of electricity generation categorised as renewable. Did you not read the reasoning I posted as to why it's done? Let's say you get your way and that's made illegal - cool, now it rots, creates methane and emits *more*.

It's different to bringing methane out of the ground and burning that - this is methane that is naturally occurring at the surface and would be released anyway.
