    Waste to energy conversion plant, ie a factory that burns rubbish.

    Interestingly this exact thing is now happening in Poole in Dorset where locals successfully opposed an offshore wind farm nearby but have since failed in blocking a waste furnace right next door.

      That would be a nice option too. Too bad those are not nearly as awful as oil/gas infra. They don’t even smell that badly.

      My dad used to work in one, got to visit it a few times. Pretty interesting what people consider as “general rubbish”… Everything from false teeth to propane tanks… Luckily the system has a big magnet that pulls that shit out of there
