Hi Ray and All,
Here in Fla they burn bagasse in a low eff
steam gen plant. The pollution from this plant is
terrible and can choke you 20 miles away.
Sugarcane is the biggest destroyer of the
Everglades too. We have been trying to get rid of it
of 30 years but because there is so much money from
gov price subs that they pay off everyone including
Gov Jeb! Bush. It doesn't look like he will even run
next time because of the policies he has pushed
selling Fla to the highess bidder and the presidental
election fiasico will make it doubtful he could win.
In Fla we passed a consitutional amendment telling
the Fla gov to make the polluters pay their fair share
of the cleanup but they only pay about 5%.
Our gov at work, paying susidies then paying to
clean up the mess too.
