    There’s plenty of space in landfills. If one fills up, make another. There is zero shortage of space for landfills. There is only an increased cost to move to a landfill slightly farther away.

    BURN it?!?!?! That’s stupidly insane. Must be a plot by assholes that are going to make a lot of cash building an incinerator somehow.

      I mean we already burn plastic fuel pellets for power and heat generation, this is no different if they capture the energy rather than just reducing it in volume.
