£1 Billion For A PFI Incinerator

Coventry Telegraph: Taxpayers could be facing a "billion pound blunder" if councils push ahead plans for a new incinerator:

"Anti-incinerator campaigners claim the scheme hasn't been scrutinised enough and fear the council could end up burning valuable materials instead of recycling them. Keith Kondakor, waste management spokesman for Nuneaton Friends of the Earth, said: 'This report shows a massive waste of money and a total lack of ambition. The sums of money are frightening and the amount of scrutiny is very small. The number of people looking at the strategy and understanding it and asking whether it's a sensible thing to do is virtually none. And it's almost too late to correct it.'"
