  • This is such bs.

  • I too need to throw the B.S. Flag on these folks.

    The several low oxygen oven to energy systems I've worked on are NOT incinerators. By definition they are not burning, they are breaking down material into usable gases and recoverable metals.

    We can't recycle enough or reduce enough that we won't make Methane in the landfills. How about we burn that methane - we'll that is what we are doing but in a clean oven and not out in the open.

    Stop the pie in the sky and get real.

  • Dr Paul Connett has convinced me. Thank you for making this eloquent argument against incineration

  • you need to recover what is reusable and recyclable before incineration, so you dont incinerate materials which will then create toxin that leach into the underground water system. this dr need to give him phd back to where it came from

  • this is bullshit. i mean, whos paying this people? oil companies?

  • @fosterruleslady I can relate to how angry you are. I did a lot of research and I suggest you do the same. The main thing is that you care that we shouldn't be wasting, ie burning, resources.

  • We the consumers are the 'bad guys' --- we're buying the rubbish that's being manufactured! Let's all cut down on the junk we buy!

  • These people are the most unrealistic panel of morons I have listened to... With new gasification processes it is the best option available... and the crap they have to say about nano-particles... if they were being real and honest they would let people know what kinds of nano-particles are emitted by their stinky landfills and seriously, the reason we have the issue with companies making "green" packaging: it isn't cost effective and while it sounds nice, it's not happening so we go second best

  • Anaerobic Digesters- look up Modern Technology Methods dot com

  • What about closed loop gasification. What kind of Dr. is this guy?? Incineration implies combustion which requires a smokestack.

  • Does this apply to Plasma Converters?
