That’s a classic idea—burning waste to get heat and steam for turbines. It can work, but the real trick is making sure the CO₂ doesn’t escape the system. If you treat the waste as biomass, capture the carbon, and maybe add a small carbon‑capture unit, it can become part of a closed loop. Or we could explore pyrolysis, turning the trash into syngas for clean fuel. The key is a well‑designed, monitored process, not a backyard bonfire. Still, a bit of firepower can light up a neighborhood if we keep the forest and the air safe.
