Article doesn’t say anything about wood burning or natural gas. Previously they mentioned how bad wood burning is for energy production. There’s nothing clean about cutting down trees, or digging up gas, and then processing it, putting it on a diesel burning cargo ship and sending it halfway around the world to be burned.

But disposing of local non-recyclable plastics and making them into electricity is pretty close to the the “reuse” part of reduce/reuse/recycle.

I’m not attacking you — I’m just pointing out how the BBCs claim that burning rubbish is the “dirtiest” form of UK power generation seems a bit iffy.
