Connections: Debating the proposed trash incinerator in the Finger Lakes

WXXI News | By Evan Dawson,
Megan Mack
Published April 11, 2018 at 2:24 PM EDT

Is a trash incinerator in the Finger Lakes a good idea for economic reasons or is it a bad idea to keep more garbage in a tourism-centered place? The debate focuses on a proposed project that some say is a necessary jobs creator, while others call it a potential disaster for a region focused on agriculture and tourism.

Our guests debate the project.

  • Michael Warren Thomas, talk show host and advocate for the Finger Lakes region
  • Alan Knauf, lawyer representing Circular enerG
