[edit] edit

If anyone's reading this, I majorly edited. Hope I didn't mess anything up. I know about the text in the box. I'll fix that as soon as I can. Green caterpillar 02:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] remove cleanup tag?

Does this look good? Green caterpillar 04:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging proposal

The article, Incineration, is about a very similar subject. Should it be merged into here? Green caterpillar 03:00, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that the Incineration article is by far the better of the two articles. It is arranged better and is much more coherent (better written and easier to understand). I do agree it is a good idea to merge the two ... but I think this article (Waste-to-energy plant should be merged into the Incineration article. There would be a lot of work involved and it would be best done by someone who has some real-world experience in incineration and waste-to-energy plants. Otherwise it could turn into a big mess. - mbeychok 05:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
However, I put this article under peer review. What can be done about that? Green caterpillar 20:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Green caterpillar, I don't really know the answer to that. However, I imagine that all you have to do is remove it from this page and also include another posting here saying that you changed your mind and removed the tag. - mbeychok 20:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the waste-to-energy should be merged into the incineration article. There should be a disambiguation page first explaining there are many ways of generating energy from waste that dont involve incineration. Please see:

The incineration marketing boys have stolen the terms waste-to-energy WtE and energy-from-waste EfW however it is not technically correct to say incineration is the only mechanism of generating energy from waste. --Alex 09:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps we should merge this article into incineration and rename it to this title, because the title "Waste-to-energy plant" would be all-inclusive of the methods mentioned above. Green caterpillar 18:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy of this article

I have a major problem with this article. I would consider it to be highly misleading and in effect, propoganda for the waste to energy industry. Almost every factual statement in it is at least questionable. I am not proposing to edit it now, as i don't have the correct references to hand. But i think there should be a major health warning on this, and the external links, which are very one sided. As someone with a lot of experience in the waste to energy field, i would say its almost impossible to write on this topic in a manner which will satisfy everyone. But this article is so one sided it doesn't even make an attempt. GyatsoLa 22:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
