47.50% - Incineration with energy recovery beats landfill on greenhouse gases, land use, and methane — landfill methane is 25x more potent than CO2, and waste-to-energy is the answer we keep ignoring.
40.00% - Waste incinerators recover ferrous metals through magnetic separation before combustion, giving you energy production and metals recovery in a single pass.
12.50% - Modern engineered landfills have geomembrane liners, leachate collection, and methane capture — they're not the open dumps from 1965, and the narrative needs to catch up.
Waste-to-energy incineration operates safely at scale in Japan and Sweden, an option the U.S. has neglected.
29.20% - Waste incinerators recover ferrous metals through magnetic separation before combustion, giving you energy production and metals recovery in a single pass.
25.36% - Incineration with energy recovery beats landfill on greenhouse gases, land use, and methane — landfill methane is 25x more potent than CO2, and waste-to-energy is the answer we keep ignoring.
15.00% - Plant-based materials in an incinerator release carbon that's part of the natural cycle — completely different math from burning fossil fuels.
8.70% - Modern engineered landfills have geomembrane liners, leachate collection, and methane capture — they're not the open dumps from 1965, and the narrative needs to catch up.
8.70% - A modern engineered landfill is managed, monitored, and far better than the poorly run facilities from 50 years ago that gave landfills their bad reputation.
6.52% - Hydro is clean, reliable, and dispatchable on demand — the anti-dam movement is strangest when it comes from environmentalists who claim to want clean power.
6.52% - Nuclear power has been regulated into non-viability by a permitting system designed by people who fundamentally distrust the technology.
50.00% - Waste-to-energy incineration operates safely at scale in Japan and Sweden, an option the U.S. has neglected.
50.00% - Waste-to-energy is a proven solid waste management strategy in Sweden and Japan.
0.00% - Incinerators reduce waste volumes 90% while generating cleanish energy as a byproduct.
0.00% - Waste-to-energy incineration reduces waste volume by approximately 90 percent while generating electricity.
