The Hsinchu Incinerator/Energy Plant - they burn 200 trucks of garbage a day and generate enough power to sell to other parts of the island.  It was a very impressive (and odor-free) plant.

Yes, Jeff is taller than everyone we've met so far, including Suzanne above.  At least it's easy to spot him in a crowd!

The HOT team in the control room of the incinerator.  Can you believe that it only takes 5 engineers to run the operation?  It's that automated.  See the TV screen behind us showing the incinerator in action.  There are 3 - 5 people whose jobs are to sort through the garbage - by hand and with little shovels - to separate out items that can't be burned or are hazardous.
