I didn’t have any expectations concerning that title, but the
more I was astonished. The author did a great job. I spent a few minutes
reading and checking the facts. Everything is very clear and understandable.
I like posts that fill in your knowledge gaps. This one is of the sort.

Waste to Energy is not a method to make energy. The revenue from power reduces the cost of waste management. ROI is not to be calculated from the revenue from power, but the health costs saved, the lives saved, the benefits of better aesthetics and how it improves the quality of life, tourism, the image of the country in the world etc. Unless people change their view to this and pay what it takes to manage waste, waste to energy or Swach Bharath will never take off.

The technology for WTE is expensive, ROI time is considerable i.e. doesnt make good business sense with the terms that government offers . The government doesnt want to spend too much money but wants returns, How’s that possible. China has 300WTE and India has 6. Why? The lack of government focus in to WTE leads one to a conclusion that Swachh Bharat, though a good initiative and launched with good intention, is now just a PR exercise. Solar plants or Wind Farms are good for optics and photos to project a Modern India, but the need to dispose off the waste is more important.
