"To develop a truly comprehensive strategy to reduce U.S. oil dependence we need to expand the circle of voices contributing ideas to the discussion. At Waste Management, we are both a large energy consumer - having a fleet of more than 22,000 trucks - and a renewable energy
producer – our renewable energy projects produce enough green energy to power nearly one million homes. I look forward to adding a new perspective to the debate." David P. Steiner
