A useful discussion of urban futures with a focus on energy and resilience to environmental hazards took place today at The New York Times, including panels of mayors, a chat between me and the actor Jeremy Irons over his involvement in the documentary ?Trashed? and much more.

[11:26 a.m. | Update | My "trash talk" with Jeremy Irons can be watched here. Irons, who is the on-camera guide and narrator of "Trashed," stood by his opposition to incineration when I noted successes with this technology in Europe and Asia. I also noted New York City's polluting truck exports of trash to distant landfills.
His main point was that sustained incineration sustains a comfort level with big waste streams, and he's right. He picked up a water bottle and noted that the energy that went into making it is 26 times the energy produced by burning it.]
