This article is about how Denmark has created a super-clean waste to electricity plant. For years incinerators have been terrible polluters and hated by many people, especially those who live close to one. Now, however, this new plant has many filters to filter out anything from mercury to dioxins. It converts waste to electricity with less harmful emissions than a fire place and barbecues have. This is a huge advancement and many more of these plants are being set up in the country. The idea has been brought to America, but not in a very positive light. Scientists are split, on the one hand these are extremely green plants, but on the other hand its just encouraging people to produce more waste and use more plastics. This has the opposite effect of what people want because people would be more loose with what they buy and throw out. I think this is a really great idea, even though it could encourage bad behaviors. I think it could be the transition to perfectly green energy and would solve the problem of what to do with waste.
