From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I reviewed an article that describes the waste-to-energy process. The article does a good job in explaining what the waste-to-energy process is, describes waste-to-energy practices and describes emerging technologies. I found the article to be a presentation of facts and information, it was free of any kind of opinion or bias on the subject. I looked at several of the sources that were cited in the article, many were reports of government studies. I reviewed the talk section of the article and saw where other contributors asked questions or provided feedback on the article. Some of the conversation in the talk section was a difference of opinion, the question was asked why an article for waste to energy is needed with an article for incineration already exist. Much of the other comments in the talk section are comments to improve the article.

Link to article I am reviewing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste-to-energy
Edits - Intro section - Waste to energy involves more than just heat and electricity, fuel can also be generated through waste to energy processes. - Done
Methods - Incineration section - The article reads "powers steam generators that make electric energy". This should be reworded to say generates electricity. - Done -Term "Acid Rain" - changed to Acid precipitation / Deposition - Done - Article reads "atmosphere and hurting the environment". Should be changed to causing degradation.

Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste, or the processing of waste into a fuel source. WtE is a form of energy recovery. Most WtE processes Generate electricity and/or heat directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.[1]
