Burning Trash - Good or Bad?

POWER SHIFT - WSJ seems to indicated that Burning Trash is being seen as a way to reduce landfills, green house gas, and produce some power.

Of course reusing would be the best way. The headache is the labor cost of sorting garbage as a way to reduce the amount sent to the dump. Burning does reduce the size, but may produce ash and smoke that then needs to be disposed of safely.
