"A proper comparison would pit burning trash against renewable energy sources that don't produce greenhouse gases"
Not really, because carbon neutral renewable energy usable for heating are not plentiful. AFAIK there is only: Sustainable wood pelet burning with particles filters, Heat pumps.
And there is contestations about heat pumps being a green energy source http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/sep/08/heat-pumps-green-heating http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/sep/08/heat-pump...
