I asked my local waste disposal company why they don't buy a plasma gasification system and they told me that the plants require so much trash as fuel that to keep them fed they'd have to haul trash from three states. It wasn't affordable to buy one just for local operation. Here's the history of attempts and current projects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification_commercialization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification_commercial... These are definitely large scale, large area systems and there have been some engineering problems. A few seem to be operating successfully. Even if the net energy production is zero that's better than it being negative. Financing has been a problem also. It still produces CO2 also, so there is that to consider. It greatly reduces hazards in the waste stream though, so it seems better than a landfill. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to turn the glass plus heavy metals that is produced into building or road materials.
