Mecklenburg County Commissioners endorsed a venture to create green jobs out of garbage, among other green energy plans. Mecklenburg already tried burning garbage for energy once, but had to close the incinerator. New Hanover County’s waste-to-energy incinerator continues to live on subsidies from the county landfill. Maybe ReVenture Park is a good idea, but it should be able to prove that in the market with private money, not with taxpayer dollars.
