This article is extremely eye opening and honestly a little scandalous. It illustrates new jersey's four operating incineration plants, which claim to use waste to produce "clean" energy however in reality they dump harmful CO2, along with toxic ash, into the atmosphere.

an, I can say that this article is a very worthwhile read.
