The dirty side of clean energy

Covanta - the company trying to build an 'energy from waste' plant in Merthyr Tydfil - aka an incinerator - seem to be splashing the cash to try to clean up their image.  Latest efforts include sponsoring a conference on green jobs, organised by the Institute of Welsh Affairs. They dished out free yoyos, perhaps representing their position on emisisons, and free toffees to chew on while we digested their literature.  Their annual report called 'This is clean' was also much in evidence.  No mention of their fine for pollution as reported in the Western Mail a few months ago.  It won't work Covanta.
