Like what’s preventing us from living in a world like WALL-E in the future?

I work for a flare company and exclusively engineer flare systems for landfills. We are selling plenty of equipment to new landfills, and they’re absolutely producing methane.
Everyone, trash decaying and methane production in a controlled manner is a good thing. It’s only bad when directly vented to the atmosphere because it’s insanely harmful in a greenhouse sort of way. We use gas blowers (large vacuums) that suck the gas out of the landfill, pulling in fresh air through the ground, and most of the time send it to a plant on site that either generates electricity or cleans the gas and sells to a natural gas pipeline. The flare is typically used as a backup because the gas coming out of the ground sometimes contains more liquid than the engines can handle and shuts them down.
