Municipalities are struggling to cope with increasing volumes of garbage and demands for a clean city. As dumpsites get filled and with no more land available new solutions are being sought.

Incineration of waste is being touted as the perfect solution to this problem. It also promises energy from the process, an added allurement to cities reeling under power cuts.

Is WtE really the panacea for our garbage woes? Does the energy equation work? What will its environmental and social impact be?
