Incinerators Pose Significant Risks, Regardless Of Technological Advancements | Opinion

Recent news reports touting a new $1.5 billion Miami-Dade incinerator project as “safe” and claiming ”zero emissions and no smells” I feel are misleading and lack scientific basis. Such promises do not pass the smell test — literally or figuratively. The Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) reports that incinerators emit 68% more greenhouse gases per unit of energy than coal plants, making them among the most toxic and climate-polluting industries. Wayne Messam is the mayor of Miramar.
