It's cost and govt indifference that stop it happening. I am no chemist, but I seem to remember many moons ago in our chemistry lessons being told, you can convert a material or substances to something else but you can not get rid of it! But secondly, Cornwall, its councils and its people have repeatedly argued about what should be done with our waste and carried on dumping in land fill. Well the land fill is 'full' and the most economic disposal method is incineration. Its poppycock to say this is a decision that has been without considering all alternative avenues, within their (our council tax) budget.

The only way they could have "zero emisions" would be if all the energy was converted and given off as heat...or if they could convert it to the same mix of oxygen and nitrogen etc. that is our atmosphere since "zero emissions" really means zero harmful emissions not no emissions at all.
