Snowy, that article just highlights my irritation that more plants don't exist. Cogen plants are a win/win situation. Environmental groups campaigning against them with the argument that it will encourage people not to recycle is moronic.
The government has the ability to make this work. Oil refineries in California work under some incredibly strict air quality laws and I'm sure those laws extend to any industrial site that generates VOC's (volatile organic compounds). The CO2 generated by a waste burning plant is going to be more than offset by the pollution that wouldn't be generated by the same amount of waste going into a land fill.
