Outbreak of commonsense in Scotland!!

They intend to build more waste incinerators, reducing need for landfill and generating relatively cheap electricity.

So who's complaining?

Ah yes, this lot. But funnily enough they're not big fans of landfill either.

NB, this landfill tax is way off piste. I am all in favour of taxes on land/location values, but the landfill tax is something like milions of pounds per acre (I can't be bothered looking up the right figure) whereas agricultural land is only worth around £4,000 per acre (i.e. the net present value of the CAP subsidies - the land itself is nigh worthless).
