Re: Enough Hot Air on Incinerator to Run a Turbine, April 25 The News.

I host Doc Nights at Meadowlands Fellowship church in Ancaster. The last film that was shown was Crapshoot: The gamble with our wastes. Maureen Reilly is interviewed in this film and shows what was/is spread on fields beside her home.

It is utterly mind boggling that our politicians play with our health and lives by allowing human and industrial waste to be spread on our food as fertilizer. Yes, we have to deal with it, and, yes, there are alternatives to plying our food with hazardous/toxic waste.

Hamilton has the chance to be on the leading edge of a newer technolgy to deal with this, and this would be the type of plant that Liberty Energy is proposing to build. I think it is important enough that the following link should be published so that Hamilton's citizens can make up their own minds and make an informed decision - www.libertyenergy.ca/BackgrndQ&A.html).

Perhaps we might even invest in another gasification plant, like the one Plasco Energy group set up in Ottawa, which does take municipal solid waste (unlike Liberty Energy which will strictly deal with sewage sludge) to deal with our landfill issues (www.plascoenergygroup.com).

Who knows, maybe people will be so enlightened they will start demanding the whole sewage system be revamped, maybe our politicians will become visionary enough to offer incentives for people to install composting toilets (they've come a long way, baby) and grey water filtrations systems? The word just needs to get out there; people need to be informed.

Kudos to the editor for publishing Maureen's letter. Thank you Maureen, and keep up the good fight. There are others out there who are concerned too!
