Hawaii turns discarded fishing nets into power for 300 homes

Hawaii's Nets to Energy Program, set up in 2002, collects abandoned fishing nets from fishermen and removal groups and burns them at Honolulu's H-Power waste-to-energy plant. According to NOAA, 832 tons of nets have been processed, producing enough electricity to power over 300 homes for a year while cutting debris that harms coral reefs and wildlife.
