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.

Ask a Pro
I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:
Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?
As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”
Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

Solar PV in Spain
I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
