3 Some cities are running out of trash... Instead of dumping it, China began sending waste to power plants, where high-tech incinerators burned it cleanly. Each ton of trash produces 200 to 500 kilowatt hours of electricity, bringing in 15 to 40 dollars per ton.

And yet my local council has reduced our garbage pick up to once every two weeks.
Apparently making it harder for me to get rid of trash will somehow make the producer wrap fewer layers of anti theft plastic on everything, I guess?
Also, I’m not really willing to believe the Chinese when they say they burning it “cleanly”.
Yeah exactly. Fuckin HOW?
You'll forgive me if I consider the source on this one.
Other side of the coin though, our "leaders" are giant stank twats that would absolutely prioritize money over humanity.
