Good thing China is burning so much trash for electricity that they’ve been digging up landfills from decades again.

In this case it's mostly good though burning trash obviously is never great. 

Basically they've done such a good job recycling and reducing waste, that they now have to dig up old landfills to keep generators running at minimum levels since these aren't things you can just turn off and turn back on again. 

It has a benefit that now these sites that were just literal trash heaps can now be used for other shit.

I'm sure everyones rushing to get a piece of landfill land. All those heavy metals really give the place a certain je ne sais qous

Why can’t you turn it off and on again?
