Incinerators.....please!

The flue gases can be managed. Personally I like peat bogs.






And the neat thing about using peat moss as a filter is that you can dry it witth waste heat, burn it as a fuel, harvest the heat as energy and the heavy metals they captured from the flue gas are captured in the ash.

Ottawa could really use one of those. Sadly I think city council is just going to opt for another place to bury trash.

A lot of Canadian cities could use one of them.

It will never happen. David Suzuki would mobilize the entire city of Toronto plus Vancouver. No politician could tolerate the heat even if it is the right thing to do
 
Incineration is political Kryptonite. Even with high-tech, high-temperature 'plasma' burners, people equate them with the backyard burn barrel.

One problem with using peat bogs as a 'filter' is they are nowhere near where the source of most of the waste is.

I agree with you on the kryptonite.

But we now have a generation of folks calling for a nuclear reactor in every backyard. That hasn't been seen since the 1950s.

And we do have lots of incinerating peers to emulate. Education/propaganda works. It is what both killed and resurrected the nukes and killed the urban power plant.

As to the peatbogs, I sold peatbogs.
They were alternatives, and adjuncts, to chemical scrubbers. They were containerized and layered and the peat was replaced at regular intervals. The peat was brought to the plant and treated like any other reagent or input.
