Major News Outlets Spotlight Waste-to-Energy

Waste-to-energy is becoming headline news again and portals such as the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg News are highlighting waste-to-energy.  WSJ environmental editor Jeffrey Ball wrote a story that appeared on page A9 that discussed the emerging presence of waste-to-energy and its ability to generate renewable electricity from waste.  While recognizing that today's waste-to-energy plants are far different than incinerators of yesteryear, Ball notes that Congress and states are have implemented or are considering policies that would recognize waste-to-energy as a climate-friendly, renewable source of electricity. Bloomberg News published a story online on May 11 which described the efforts of companies to increase waste-to-energy capacity around the globe in order to reduce waste and increase renewable electricity capacity.  Both articles were balanced and note that some activists will always be opposed to waste-to-energy, but coverage in major news outlets shows that waste-to-energy is indeed making headway in the public domain.
