Who is behind the promotion of burning waste for energy?
The Chemical Manufacturers Association?

According to Chemical Week Executive Edition; July 12,
1996; Volume 1, Number 34: Representative Dan Schaefer (R., CO) 
introduced a bill 'mandating competition in the retail electricity supply 
market by the end of 2000--a move that CMA estimates could save the 
energy-intensive chemical industry $600 million/year. Schaefer, who 
chairs the House Commerce Committee's Energy & Power subcommittee, 
proposes that states implement competition; many are already flirting 
with retail competition. The bill would also repeal two federal laws 
regulating power companies--the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy and 
Holding Company Acts--and require that all generators of electricity 
employ renewable energy sources for at least 2% of their power output.'
