Electricity from vaporizing trash?

A Florida county has grand plans to ditch its dump, generate electricity and help build roads — all by vaporizing garbage at temperatures hotter than the sun. The $425 million facility expected to be built in St. Lucie County will use lightning-like plasma arcs to turn trash into gas and rock-like material. It will be the first such plant in the nation operating on such a massive scale and the largest in the world.

Ok, I would have to say it’s scary that they can reach temperatures hotter than the sun, right here on earth. Cool method of creating electricity though.
