Solar and wind are great technologies that need impractical and eco-unfriendly batteries to become long term solutions. That doesn't mean that garbage burning cannot be augmented by wind and solar where there is opportunity for this. The argument for waste burning is quite simple: you are left without gas and you substitute what you don't have with what you have, in this case garbage. That doesn't automatically exclude other alternatives, but rather together with them, makes them more viable.
