[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1066696, member: 199791"] Nah, I got the article, it's a problem that has been created through bureaucracy, EU says "Stop emitting CO2 or else!!", so, we stop doing so by closing & demolishing coal, oil & gas power plants which could have been adapted to incinerate rubbish with CO2 scrubbers added to the flues, so when it comes to dealing with our rubbish, to please the target-setters, we send the rubbish abroad to be burned elsewhere & fed into the european power grid which we're tied into via HVDC interconnects, and we can proudly proclaim that we are green and clean, because someone else is burning our rubbish and polluting the air in their part of the world instead of our own... So, if we weren't being told what to do by our neighbours, we probably would have set up rubbish-burning incinerators that turn waste into power, but, we weren't allowed to. Yes there have been some small schemes which do burn rubbish, but they're on the scale of "Powering hundreds of nearby homes!", rather than millions, given there's millions of homes producing all kinds of waste that we could put back into use one way or another... It's all an infestation of politics really, which is something that tends to be discouraged on this forum cos it tends to get carried away with heated debate if it's a hot topic... :) [/QUOTE]
