Trash to power

European countries are turning their trash (minus recyclable materials) into power. They are locating the plants in the neighborhoods they serve. The US has powerful groups stopping incinerator plants because they think it reduces recycling. It is just ridiculous that we can't get our act together. I still can't recycle at most public locations. We can't agree to use technologies that others are using because we don't care, as a society, about something that we don't see. Well, before you take away beef because cows produce methane, let's take care of landfills, which produce methane. This all-or-nothing approach is so familiar and tiresome
