NIMBY
There is nothing in the article to suggest otherwise.

On the other hand
I personally would not want an incinerator near my house, as in, if I could see the chimney from my window, I wouldn't be happy.

But if they are sited away from housing and in, preferably industrial areas, then I think they are a good thing.

Agreed
I can empathise entirely with people not wanting the thing built too near a residential area but the article gave no other reasons for them opposing it so it's NIMBYism even if it is understandable.

I'd rather have it build near some houses than spoiling some countryside or not built at all.

Which it is really
The proposed site is at Saltend, which is nothing more than a vast sprawling acetic acid plant dominated by two vast cooling towers. One more chimney won't make any impact.

Just off the M62 a few miles down from Goole is a vast landfill which is now more of a large hill of trash rather than just filling a hole in the ground.

I wonder if the people complaining ever attend a bonfire on Nov. 5th. I once read an article that one bonfire produces more toxins and carcinogens over the few hours it's burning than all the incinerators in country produce in a year.
