CEBU CITY, Philippines -- Spending millions on the installation of a waste-to-energy (WTE) facility and a city-operated power plant will not necessarily address Cebu City's garbage and power

Dizon spoke to air his opinion on the mayor’s plan to establish a WTE facility and power plant here as part of his post-Odette recovery plan.During his speech, Dizon said, studies that were made earlier show that WTE’s are detrimental to the environment. “The Cebu City Council sponsored the first ever coal-free resolution in the country. That resolution was passed by the 13th Sangguniang Panlungsod and had been replicated by other local governments. Coal-fired power plants are the main culprit in global warming and contributed about one-quarter of total emissions of carbon dioxide worldwide,” he said.
