This comprehensive article correctly identifies waste-to-energy technology as a viable solution for the burn pit issue, and it details many of the missed opportunities in how the US military has managed solid waste. It certainly highlights the need for the development of new WTE technologies such as The Phoenix.
I want to share an article I wrote for the Council on Foreign Relations's "Think Global Health" about burn pits and their understated environmental impacts on U.S. military bases abroad. This has been a part of a larger research project about environmentalism in the U.S. military and the need to develop waste-to-energy technology in the future. A special thank you to Elsabet Jones, Alexandra Labonte, and Dr. Rachel George for all of their assistance throughout this process. https://lnkd.in/e2EHKikx
