[FP] A new way to deal with our waste problems

I've been doing my bill for mock congress this weekend and have tapped into a relatively new technology called Plasma Incineration. 

In plasma incineration, municipal wastes of all kinds are heated to an access of 27,000 degrees Fahrenheit (hotter than the surface of the sun) and broken down into very simple bi products (each of the byproducts have lucrative economic value- syngas used in construction, and the liquid and gases are used in for fuel and energy-can be used in gas engines and hydrogen fuel cells).  They're are zero emissions into the atmosphere, and the economical cost of this process is now less than dumping waste in a landfill!  The actual cost of using this plasma incineration is 0$ per kw of energy compared to traditional incineration's 150$ per kw.  It's priceless because of the by products and their commercial value.


As much as critics want to complain that incineration is not the solution to our waste problem, and how recycling should be the new fad (which it is increasingly now a days), it is unethical to think this way.  Big business, as well as normal Americans, along with the  poorer population will not have the resources or the time to manage their waste ideally (or have been educated on how to do so).  Businesses waste because its economical, and so do regular people.  With exponential rises in waste, we can no longer store it in our earth or pollute the environment by burning it traditionally.  It's time we finally put our new technologies to use and ditch old traditions with municipal waste. 

Plasma incineration has been adopted in numerous foreign countries with much success, but has yet to be adopted considerably in the U.S.  Like with other emerging technologies, funding is a problem and at this point in our time, the focus of our government on jobs, healthcare, and foreign relations, the environment and waste management has been put in the background.  Which is more important at this point?  I'm not sure, but If I were an investor, I'd get busy on the whole Plasma Incineration thing cause the pros heavily outweigh the cons (if any).
