European Vacation - At Sergios Work

I wanted to visit his job because he works at one of those Waste to Energy Plants and I had never been to one...



High up in the mountains the dump trucks come and drop off the refuse, they go through an incinration process and then power a turbine, if I am not mistakedn the produce about 5MW of energy here at peak capacity! Very impressive and they even sell some back to the grid when the plant does not require using all of it!



He seems to like to as well... just below us is a metal grating that shows you how far the drop is, and I was not even scared!


I wonder if we have these in the states?
