Burning waste pollutes the air and warms the climate. This subsidy—the largest granted to any company on the list at nearly $3 million—tips the scales in favour of expanded waste burning at a time when we need to focus on generating less waste and fewer emissions.
The plant has repeatedly violated limits that must be met on a 12-month rolling basis for nitrogenoxide (NOx) and volatile organic compound (VOC) air pollution, which contribute to smog, asthma attacks, and lung disease, according to state records and the lawsuit. The VOCs include benzene, a known carcinogen.
6 was enacted, the plants have emitted more than 29 million tons of heat-trapping carbondioxide, 28,000 tons of nitrogenoxides (NOx), and 16,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SOx). The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel estimates that, since H.B. Ohioans pay for OVEC losses.
Carbondioxide and methane (a short-lived but extremely powerful global warming gas) are emitted during the extraction, processing, storage, transportation and combustion of gasoline, diesel and other petroleum fuels used by our vehicles. We have over 284 million gasoline- and diesel-burning cars, trucks and buses on our roads.
By Ad Crable, Chesapeake Bay Journal Pennsylvania is ideally suited to help the nation fight global warming by becoming a leader in the effort to capture and store emissions of carbondioxide, state officials say.

Burning coal in these two regions account for a little under two gigatonnes of carbondioxide emissions per year, with 1.29 Burning coal emits twice as much carbondioxide as natural gas and up to 50 times more than solar and wind in their entire lifecycles (manufacturing and recycling included). A moral imperative.
Regardless, only 30 percent of the nation’s biggest livestock farms, known as concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), have waste discharge permits. It is mainly methane, which is 80 times more potent than carbondioxide in trapping heat for the first 20 years after it is released.
