No one knows their trash like International Environmental Solutions, in Romoland, California. Imagine taking your everyday throw away stuff, from paper, plastics to diapers, and sending them to an Advanced Pyrolytic System, i.e. a trash torch’er. From the belly of a furnace like cylinder, high heat flows through a spider web of tubes to spin a steam driven turbine and thus producing many kilowatts of electrons to power your latte/espresso machine in the morning. This high temp method is clean and non polluting since all the gasses from the incineration are also consumed and put to work. Officials from Los Angeles County are considering the high-tech garbage burner, since an extra large version could possibly alleviate about 50 percent of landfill content in the city of the Angels. Instead of the old paradigm of “drill baby drill” we can say “burn baby burn” to the throw away articles of our society.
