stop Wales being carpeted with incinerators

Last spring 4 of the South East Wales Local authorities (LAs) were grouping together to source a residual waste treatment plant, codename Prosiect Gwyrdd (Project Green Wash). MBT was mentioned but then the focus shifted to EfW

There was a fairly good chance of influencing the LAs until WAG announced their capital spending fund for partnership working on waste projects would only awarded to EfW plants, not MBT. This decision seems to have been taken after seeing the Hyder report they commissioned for the Regional Waste Plan consultations. This, in turn, seems to be based on the WRATE analysis they did of the options.

The WRATE analysis Hyder did was biased in favour of EfW, the WAG should reconsider their position and stop Wales being carpeted with incinerators.
