The Worcester Telegram & Gazette ran an insightful editorial lamenting Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick’s decision to extend the moratorium on new waste-to-energy capacity in Massachusetts. The T&G editorial board found the Governor's decision to be "a disappointing reflection of either/or thinking that will leave Massachusetts with fewer options than it should have in its battle to reduce, recycle and reuse." The editorial noted that "since 1990, WTE facilities have cut 90 percent or more of the major pollutants they emit [and] placing a ton of solid waste in a landfill means emitting about 33 percent more greenhouse gases than are emitted by incinerating that same ton of waste — and without producing any electricity.
