[Digestion] landfill vs. AD

Dear AD Listers,

I may have asked this question in some form before, but I thought I'd 
rephrase it.

Consider a rural town in the Northeastern US. If you had a choice 
between 1) sending the town's domestic food waste to a landfill that 
collects its gas and runs a generator, or 2) sending it to a central AD 
that co-digests food waste and dairy manure and runs a generator, which 
do you think is a better use of the food waste in terms of energy 
production? Assume similar transport schemes between the two.

Many thanks,
Jason Perry
