With modern exhaust scrubbers, is burning garbage that bad compared to potentially releasing it into the environment? Also, if we’re going to burn something, why not burn resources we’ve already extracted?
They are, this isn’t about helping, it’s about distracting.
“Better then fossil fuels” means kicking the can down the road. Dams emit lots of CH4 from rotting vegetation for example, destroy the local environment etc
We either cut back significantly on energy use (no cars, no flying, smaller very well insulated homes etc) or collapse civilisation, those are the only choices left.
Here’s an interesting take by physicist Tom Murphy
Didn’t someone recently post a thing where it spoke about how dams are generally a bad idea?
Dams are not great but they’re definitely better than natural gas, coal, diesel, biomass or other burning garbage, I guess…

They dont scrub everything and lots of toxic shit goes up the stack. It talks about how dangerous they are in the Trash doco
