Why Not Burn Our Trash For Energy?

Everyone in the world has trash so it would only make sense to make that waste turn into energy here in the United States. Many other countries such as Sweden and Norway have already started this and seen excellent results. Burning trash for energy will effect the broader environment in a positive way since we are running out of places to bury trash. We would make sure that the trash we are burning is environmentally friendly and wouldn't affect the ozone.
