Incinerating waste is not a sustainable way of managing waste or generating power. It contributes greenhouse gas emissions, not only from the incineration process itself, but also in the transportation of waste to the site. This increase in transport will lead to additional emissions caused by the increased congestion on the roads and with the inevitable increased degradation of the roads and particulate breakdown of tyres. Not only will this have consequences for the global climate crisis but it will have specific local environmental and health implications. The only beneficiaries of this project will be those companies that will make large amounts of profit from the scheme with out bring any significant economic or social benefits to the area that could possibly outweigh the negative impacts.
