Is cold plasma pyrolysis or gasification or whatever overhyped as a waste solution or can we truly turn food + plastic waste into hydrogen/syngas/oil with net production of energy?

Does it explode too easily? Too much overhead?

We emit 40 gigatonnes of CO2 annually, and our annual production of plastic is less than 0.4 gigatonnes. Systemically, it's a mere blip. The projected sustainable level is probably 4-8 gigatonnes.
Depending on the length of the hydrocarbon, the mass ratio will be close to 1:6 hydrogen:carbon.

Bizarre purist argument against a method of power production that keeps fossil fuels in the ground.
Do you have expertise about the difference between incineration and various pyrolysis / gasification methods or are you just blanket dismissing this because it produces energy in a form you don't like? Energy has to come from somewhere.
Is this a joke
Don't tell them nuclear energy and renewables often involve boiling water, which heats the planet with waste energy.

more discussions of interesting fossil fuel related harm reduction tech. keep in mind steel is not going anywhere so the method of capturing then fermenting such fumes into methanol (then fermenting into protein from the methanol) will continue to be useful even in a maximum clean energy future
nobody is saying "eat coal flakes!!!"
Where do you think plastic comes from?
Should we just throw fuel and energy directly into the ground?
