Please dont answer that it is a bad idea. I dont ask what you think about the idea. If you like it you are welcome to tell me, BUT my main QUESTION IS...... WHERE IN US do we burn bio-waste for heat and electric power production?

I know the forest industry burn some bio waste to produce heat, but that require 24 hr demand on heat. In Sweden, they have a big forest industry, and there is popping up bio waste electric power plants all over, very clean, no pollution. Even cities are heated with under ground hot water from these plants. They even store excessive heat in huge thermoses, to be used on peak hours on the day.

Here in western Washington, forestry businesses burn their logging bio waste out in the forests with no filtering or cleaning at all. Sawmills transport raw milled lumber hundreds of miles to get it dryed, instead of power their own drying facility with bio waste, bark and sawdust. Then transport dried lumber straight to the port with less pollution from diesel usage.
