Or just burn everything that will burn as power plant fuel.
“Or just burn everything that will burn as power plant fuel.”
The greenies tried that one already. They found out they had to use natural gas to generate enough heat to run the generator and burn the trash. Seems waste paper (read newsprint) was unable to burn hot enough. Funny. Then mandated recycling of newsprint, killing a once stable but small market for used newsprint, then mandated buring it to generate electricity, only to find out that they built a gas fired generator that can also burn waste. Don’t know how this qualifies as “recycling”? Seems like my Grandmother burning the trash in backyard using kerosene. I guess we are modern now!!
By the time you get that past the green weenies of the local EPA, you will have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make sure the incinerator is "clean." Way greener to just dump it in a landfill and scrape a foot of dirt over it.
