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.

Can’t swear that this is true but hoping so.
We must never forget.
The more visibility and the more frequent reminders we can get on this catastrophe in U.S. history the better.

California
It’s almost funny when we hear that California is a socialist state, or a police state (due to our environmental restrictions), or that people are leaving in droves to go to Texas or Florida. When I come across people who say this, I wonder: have you ever actually been to California?
Do you know that the garden-variety 3 BR, 2 BA house here lists at about $1.2 million, where, if it were moved to, say, the Midwest, it would be worth perhaps $2500,000? Why do you think that could possibly be? Maybe the law of supply and demand doesn’t apply to the Marxist part of the nation?
Perhaps it’s because Californians are offered fantastic economic opportunities. We develop and implement ideas that improve the lives of everyone on Earth, and that we profit greatly from our undertakings.
Something for the MAGA crowd to consider.

Who or What Creates Wealth?
The main way governments create wealth is by educating people so that they can become productive members of society. They also build roads and airports and maintain law and order so that honest businesses can thrive.
Anyone living now who believes that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are creating wealth for anyone but themselves is a total fool.
A ton of people bought into the concept expressed here in the mid-20th Century, but no semi-intelligent person today believes that tax breaks for billionaires/trillionaires generates a nickel for the common person.
