INC Delegation Approves Resolution on City Park Solid Waste Incinerator — 4 Comments

  1. I don’t know who Mary Ann Stack is or her expertise. I do know that the opponents’ presentations were not questioned by any council member and no one on council voted against the proposal. This had all the marks of a done deal, come what may. The Zoo people have conveniently hidden behind the actual functioning of the incinerator on the ground that it is privileged information. If that is not a “railroad job” I don’t know what is.

  2. Incineration is not what is being proposed at the Denver Zoo. May seem subtle difference but gasification is quite different. It is clean energy, trapping toxins prior to energy production. These technologies are in-use globally providing an option called Resource Recovery. 50% of energy is from coal which requires energy to be scrubbed clean afterward vs gasification prior processes. Pursuing resource recovery, composting, recycling, waste to energy are only a few techniques with solar, wind & hydraulic that are directed toward solutions.

  3. Incredible. The City Council representatives should support this critique and its recommendations for full disclosure of the solid waste incinerator BEFORE it is put in operation. I was present at the original hearing of this proposal and was amazed that the then Council supported it without questioning any of the opponents, whose information is the basis of this resolution. That’s what I call a “railroad job” foisted by the mayor and then council. This is not government by the people or for the people. New council members are not yet tainted if they call for further hearings.
