Denmark now has 29 such plants, serving 98 municipalities in a country of 5.5 million people, and 10 more are planned or under construction. http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/studies/pdf/rdf.pdf There are only 87 trash-burning power plants in the United States, a country of more than 300 million people, and almost all were built at least 15 years ago. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/13/science/earth/13trash.html?ref=denmark Upvote 0 Downvote
