Well again, what efficiency are you thinking of? It won't
change the efficiency of fuel in - electricity out. It
may change the efficiency of cost to run - revenue created.

yes already established that i was not thinking of your definition of efficient

Shouldn't be vastly more, tho. At least, I'm not seeing why
it would be.

well incinerating organics requires much lower heat so i would bet that
would require much different containment

the other post i linked to an article where they just started a
25ton/day plasma system in oregon

Yes, I read that. The goal there seems to be hazardous waste
disposal, with power generation as a bonus.

no 25tons of household waste out of a total daily of 35 thousand tons
of household waste

i would hope that they would install the plasma plants closer to the
garbage source so they would not need trains from seattle and trucks
from oregon to haul it there

this would also save lots of money and time and energy

What sort of dirt?

what ever kind of dirt that was used to bury hazardous waste in the
past
