When will Ottawa get its act together?
Garbage is mounting up all over the place. According to the Ottawa Citizen this morning, the Carp Mountain is being fitted with extractors to convert the odour of rotting garbage into electricity. This is not news. It has been talked about for the past two years. The news is that they are talking about it again.. ad nauseum.
On the garbage front what's the current situation with Plasco? You remember them. They convert garbage into electricity by blasting waste into atoms. The city has been running a pilot for the past few years and I thought that the kinks had been worked out.. Why isn't the city having Rod Bryden built a bunch of these plants around the city. If it works - get on with it. The cost per tonne is more than a landfill but with Plasco you don't have to worry about space requirement and lingering odour.
The Concert Hall issue is dead - apparently. Rumour is that the city might be trying to tie up the fed and provincial monies that were earmarked for the Concert Hall to something called a Cultural Centre. Sounds like the Concert Hall incognito. If there was not enough support for the Concert Hall - what chance is there for support of a Cultural Centre?
