We used to have incineration plants. Then the tree huggers made the air emission rules so tight that the cost of meeting the emission rules was so high that they where loosing money and shut down.
It is the same with cars. Europe's air pollution standards are not as strict as ours. That is why you see diesel cars in Europe. They instead tax the heck out of oil to make you use less.
That works as the distances driven in Europe are shorter. They also have more dense population centers then we do so mass transit kind of works. Still take massive amounts of public money to make it work.
All in all though I would not trade my freedom for the few advantages they have.
I have always thought that we should still be using incineration plants but the tree huggers go nuts when you talk about it. We all should recycle everything. That is a big JOKE. Much of the volume of trash is just that trash and not recyclable. Plus the recycling is a net looser in energy usage. I have seen numbers that suggest that recycling causes more total ecological damage than if we did not do it but it makes people "feel" good. Kind of like eating a big piece of cake when you are on a diet but you say you will walk to the car twice to make up for it. Both things are just an illusion of doing good.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
