by using the nuclear energy plant, create electricity which
can
heat plastic waste to plasma levels, breaking it down in the
presence of oxygen and burn the hydrogen creating clean
water
and carbon, and emitting more energy than put in, by
"squeezing
out" the energy that's in the plastic,
without creating the
stink and
toxins, from the regular incineration process, thus enabling a
profitable sea cleaning project without fossil oils.
Oh, wait. There's a problem. The only stumbling block in this
idea
is the part where it relies on nuclear energy. So the question
is:
Could there be some safer way to use nuclear energy so it
becomes green itself?
Some wishful thinking ideas of biodegrading plastic

Once I saw a comic where a character received an enormous
amount of paper money (as reward or something), but didn't
recognise it as money. Presumably they only knew about coins.
So they shredded it and sold it as bags of confetti, for
pennies. |

That's what this idea is doing. |

//nuclear energy so it becomes green itself?//
Nuclear power is generally considered "greener" than anything
fossil-fueled. But there are better/safer/cleaner systems than
the current popular uranium/plutonium reactors, & much
research into moving beyond the "tea kettle" method (steam
turbine) of turning nuclear fission into electricity. |

If we transmute a rising hot air tornado into a vortex ring then solar concentration would be enough to render our trash down to it's smallest possible footprint, while extracting energy and not allow a single particle to escape into the air. |
