To members of dioxin-l@essential.org,
Who is behind the promotion of burning waste for energy?
The Chemical Manufacturers Association?
The U.S. Government?
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.'
What does the Chemical Manufacturers Association actually mean when it
promotes Renewable Fuels? Check out, but don't believe the following
propaganda within the U.S. Government.

Apparently, DOE ignores EPA's own environmental scientists, or is this
the demand of our lawmakers? If we want to stop dioxin, we must take
back our government from corporations that poison for profit.
