That is changing....Here in Maine we have 2 large trash incinerators that
burn trash to make power. They are large enough that we import trash....The
stacks have scrubbers and little or no pollution escapes.

Regarding that last point: Are you sure about this? Who's telling you
that the incinerator produces little or no pollution? Can they be trusted?

Reclaiming resources is definitely a good thing; burning otherwise
reclaimable stuff to make power is an iffy proposition at best.
