Provides a means to potentially mine old land fills, which eliminates the leaching and other contamination issues associated with land fills; including the resultant methane production which is a significant green house contributor. PWC is the ultimate in recycling since all organics are turned into energy and all metals and in-organics are fed back into the economy without the need for sorting or separate handling. PWC provides distributed generation capacity. As a result, restructuring the National Power Grid to distribute the power would not be a part of the cost equation. If utilized nationally PWC would provide about 70 Gigawatts of distributed generation. Provides a significant decrease in Green House gases." - http://www.kva-engineering.com/plasma_waste_converter.html
