Atlanta Landfill Reborn As Solar Energy Site

Solar power has come a long way in the past few years. Now a landfill site in Atlanta, Georgia is being used to help power local homes. At the site, which is through taking waste, 10 acres have been covered with plastic sheets that are filled with 7,000 solar strips. That's enough to power produce 1 megawatt of energy.
