Oahu (HECO) does have the Covanta H-power generator, operating for the last quarter century, so waste-stream generated fuel this is not a new technology for Hawaii state...
Even so, without sorting...well ...the OP question of recycle cans ...H-Power does not run on non-combustable like cans & bottles, without sorting H-Power would not do it...still need to separate & recycle those things...hence my stance that we would need a trained population that buys into, as long as there are people that do not see it in their ability to recycle...either we will need to pay someone else to sort & recycle their waste, or we will need to ship it somewhere else very soon...just hope we do not hear COMPLAINING in the future about the cost of his actions today!
