What is Waste to Energy
Waste-to-energy is a process that involves converting waste materials, such as municipal solid waste, into energy. There are several technologies that can be used for waste-to-energy, including incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis.
Incineration involves burning waste materials at high temperatures to produce heat, which can then be used to generate electricity. Gasification involves heating waste materials in the presence of oxygen or steam to produce a gas that can be burned to generate electricity. Pyrolysis involves heating waste materials in the absence of oxygen to produce a gas that can be burned to generate electricity.
Waste-to-energy can provide a source of renewable energy while also reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. However, there are also concerns about air pollution and the emissions that can result from the burning of waste materials. Proper monitoring and management are needed to ensure that waste-to-energy facilities operate in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Physician Democrat Amy Acton’s run for governor in Ohio appears to be well-timed. The state’s economy is sputtering and, though the state normally votes bright red, there is considerable concern that the Republican party is run by a lunatic whose economic policies have hurt Ohioans badly.
When did the United States abandon intelligence and civility, and start acting like a nation of stupid assholes?
Should we be concerned for our personal safety now that violent, hateful ICE agents may be given immunity from prosecution for murder?
It’s hard to conceive of anything more unAmerican than what’s happening here.
