Abstract | One of the least recognized alternative sources of energy, municipal solid waste, is a promising, virtually inexhaustible domestic energy source. Technologies to convert this waste to energy are available, and the recovery of energy through the combustion on municipal solid waste is a well-established technique for conserving energy in Western Europe. Federal efforts to convert waste to energy are fragmented, uncoordinated, misguided, uncertain in priorities, and lacking in overall strategy. |
