financial incentives and environmental security question

[Natalie Roy <NatalieRoy@compuserve.com>]

A colleague of mine is  working on chemical security issues, trying to
focus the debate on inherently safer technologies.  She asked me to put
this request out on the listserver in order to get some feedback. 

U.S. Senator Corzine (NJ) sponsored a bill a while ago that would have
required companies to assess available technologies and tell EPA why they
could not employ safer technologies    Given the political outlook for the
bill , one Senate staffer asked
about providing  financial incentives to companies rather than
planning/assessment requirements. She is interested in getting recent
examples of particularly effective state financial incentive programs for
P2? She is also interested in any recent studies on whether financial
incentives work for P2 and/or whether some kinds work better than others
(e.g., grants versus low-interest loans versus tax incentives...)? I gave
her some examples but know there is much more out there. Whatever you all
could provide would be appreciated. Thanks and Happy New Year everyone.
