How Green is it?
In the United States, technology to produce electricity from waste has existed since the 1970s, according to Waste Management’s vice president of renewable energy, Paul Pabor, who said federal tax incentives introduced in 2005 and state mandates to produce percentage of their power from renewable sources has fuelled the recent growth in such projects. Trash, rubbish, whatever you call it, the 1.6bn tonnes of stuff the world throws away each year - 250 kilograms per person -is being touted as a big potential source of clean energy. Environmentalists aren’t quite as enthusiastic. Nathanael Greene, director of renewable energy policy for the Natural Resources Defence Council, said touting the benefits of landfills was akin to putting “lipstick on a pig.” Instead, we should be trying harder to reduce waste.
