"The government needs to provide better support for start-up opportunities with the environmental sector. For<br />
example: the large amounts of biomass waste from manure and waste water leaching into water tables require a<br />
major shift in clean up. By utilizing the waste to create energy we can protect the environment and lower the<br />
overall cost of these technologies as they come more into demand".<br />
