As we are taking something 'not useful' (waste) and getting 'free energy' from it is why it didn't seem to make sense to me, But so the process of burning trash is the same as combustion in a car and thus more energy is produced by the trash then is put into the trash (it is self sustaining)...

when using a car the fuel is used up and you have energy left over to make the car move, so when burning waste (fuel) you use up the waste and have energy left over, it seems like this breaks the conservation of energy-mass in both cases

the would be things like plastic, wood, metal, banana peals, and burning would be heating until most of the mass has 'disappeared'

yes

Burning waste in a waste-to-energy plat, can more energy be produced by burning the trash then the amount of energy needed to heat the trash to the point it vaporises? (to turn it to ash) eg we have 100 J of energy inside some rubbish, and this energy would all be released when we incinerate the...
