Vaporizing Landfill Trash
Keeping in mind that the “landfill space crisis” has already largely brought under control by technology discussed here, it’s even more interesting to see the possibilities of vaporizing it entirely.
Geoplasma is the company that is building and paying for a $425 million plant to accomplish this in St. Lucie County, Florida. Their home page video describes what they’re doing. Skeptics exist, including some in existing disposal businesses who would suffer from the project’s success, and they get their say in the USAT piece. I’m in no position to evaluate whether the company is financially or technologically able to pull this off. The implications of success here would be significant indeed, and the project bears watching.
