The difference this time is that it is not a private company that is proposing the incinerator but Edinburgh City Council itself, along with their Midlothian counterparts.
Naturally, they're only highlighting the good - the power and heat which could be generated by burning all the rubbish.
None of the bad - a 15 mile fallout zone shortening people's lives by up to 12 years, for example - are mentioned in the news story.
Hopefully the proposals will be kicked into touch. After all, it's less than a year since the Scottish Parliament voted to condemn the plans as unnecessary.
And the Scottish Parliament always sticks to it's word...doesn't it?
