Hi from Huntington Beach, SoCal! Am into alternative sustainable enrgy
(See the alternative energy website www.Peswiki.com Nikola tesla /
Global Energy Independence day which I founded on Nikola teslas
Birthdate July 10th and which Los Angeles has adopted and made the
ENTIRE month of July Energy Independence Month") Now, useing trash as
fuel? Why not? some trash can be used for a low emession fuel. Boil
water make steam make energy! Why isnt someone doing this in Hawai'i?
P.S. See Tesla Society website www.teslasociety.com for more On Telsa/
Global Energy Independence Day/Month(Why doesnt your state have this
too?) Bye Aloha! Dr. Edson Andre' Johnson D.D. Surf City USA

Actually, we are. This is why the city dump near Kahe Point is lasting
so long. Trash is burned to generate power and only the ash is put
into the dump. BTW I share your admiration of Tesla. Not only an
inventor like Edison, he made a number scientific discoveries.

outside the physics and engineering community/communities I doubt

Even the Kahe plant on Oahu which gets power from burning trash has
been strongly opposed by a nearby fancy Ko Olina development.
Currently, they can smell the trash and the burning from miles away

The leaves of the cane are burned in the field. Not the stalk. At the
mill the stalks are drained of cane juice and excess stalk is burned
to power the machinery at the mill and cook off liquid from the juice
in creating a syrup. How do I know this? I grew up near a sugar mill.
A lot of ash came out the smoke stack. This practice goes back to a
time when the power company did not provide the power to process the
stalks. This practice may not be tolerated today. In fact, in recent
times the sugar mill provided electrical power to the community
through cogeneration from the power generated by burning the stalks.
It would have been difficult to shut down the mill just for the
annoying ash that came out the smokestack in the neighborhood of the
mill.
