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.

I’m not sure it’s as simple as this, insofar as Bush 41 and 43 weren’t criminal sociopaths.
I happened to be driving through Manhattan on the very day that Colin Powell was addressing the United Nations just a few miles away and claimed, and I think honestly, that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction,” and must be stopped by a U.S. military invasion.
Contrast that against what we’re doing in Iran. Fifteen years ago, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), included Iran, the P5+1 nations (the United States, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany), alongside the European Union made an agreement in which most of the developed world agreed that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon.
That stood firmly in place until Trump’s latest war crime, which is costing lives and choking the world economy, solely to defend our president’s neuroses.
The Brennan Center at NYU’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent.
Does that stop liars like Mike Lee from spreading disinformation of the subject? Of course not.
There is no judgement day. There is no Saint Peter standing in front of the Pearly Gates discerning good from evil and acting according.
That’s a lucky break for Mike Lee.
