Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Environmental Technology: Hearing Before the Committee on Environment and Public Works, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, February 23, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:03 a.m., in room 406, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Max (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Baucus, Kempthorne, Reid, Lieberman, Chafee, and Boxer. Opening Statement of Hon. Max Baucus, U.S. Senator from the State of Montana Senator Baucus. The committee will come to order. Today we open a series of hearings on the subject of environmental technology. It is a subject that is increasingly important to the future of our economy and it is increasingly vital to the future of our environment. Last week, President Clinton, in his first State of the Union address, emphasized the importance of environmental technology to the stimulation of the national economy. Just yesterday, he and Vice President Gore reemphasized technology development, including environmental technology, as a major priority of this administration. I welcome this long overdue attention. It is evidence that we are finally beginning to think and plan and act for the long term because nothing is more important for our country´s long term success than a vibrant economy and a healthy environment. I have initiated these hearings so that this committee can thoroughly explore this issue. What is the current state of development? What are the driving forces behind it? What are the problems to be encountered? It is my hope this hearing and others to follow, both in the full committee and subcommittees, will build a solid foundation for legislation to encourage advancements in environmental technology. This is a broad topic. The most common type of environmental technology is so-called end-of-the-pipe control devices such as catalytic converters in cars or scrubbers on power plants. This technology is often the quickest solution to an environmental problem but it can also be the most expensive. Another environmental technology involves changes in industrial processes to reduce emissions, materials or energy usage. This can include switching to recycled materials as a feedstock, or redesigning manufacturing processes to eliminate toxic wastes.
