Explain your source of 'rumour has it'...and also why the US Gov't signed a contract after a lengthy series of tests. Before you badmouth a company, better be prepared to back up your accusations with verifiable FACTS.

Have you seen this release? It appears the Army believes STHK and their system. What information do you have to prove this to be false information? Chemical Weapons Demil Team Receives Approval From Army for Phase One Funding WILTON, Conn., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Startech Environmental Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK), a fully reporting company, announced today that the Startech Demil team received notice of the release of Phase One funding for the U.S. Army Demil technology procurement. Phase One requires the team to provide engineering, programmatic and technical data on its Demil production processes, production rates and methodologies to replace incineration. The Demil (Demilitarization) Program, now in place, must safely and irreversibly destroy the U.S. Stockpile of Chemical Warfare Weapons of mass destruction located at eight sites in the United States and one on Johnston Island, about 1000 miles southwest of Hawaii. Among the many lethal weapons in the Army's Stockpile is the deadly nerve agent VX Saddam Hussain has recently brought to the world's attention as his weapon of choice. The Stockpile munitions also include large amounts of energetics (explosives and propellants) that must be safely and irreversibly destroyed. The principal chemical warfare agents are VX, GB, Mustard and small quantities of Lewisite. The munitions are various rockets, land mines, mortars, projectiles, bombs, spray tanks and ton containers. The Stockpile also includes other hazardous wastes. In addition to Startech, the Demil team in this contract is comprised of two preeminent international companies with specific experience suited to this special program: Burns and Roe, and Foster Miller (both private companies). Burns and Roe, of Oradell, N.J., is the only company in the country to have actually designed, built, operated and decommissioned an Army chemical weapons plant. The plant, in Arkansas, produced a chemical warfare weapon called BZ, an extremely nasty hallucinogen. Also, B&R is now designing the Tritium Production Plant for the U.S. government. B&R has decades of experience designing and building power plants and waste processing plants throughout the world. B&R will also be designing and building the Startech Plasma Waste Converter Resource Recovery Centers (PWCRRCs(TM)) for the Lok Hang Group rollout program, as well as other Startech centers. PWCRRCs are plants, with multiple Plasma Waste Converters (PWCs(TM)), designed to safely process many hundreds of tons of wastes per day. Foster Miller, of Waltham, Mass., is an engineering company with diverse and innovative design experience and with extensive experience in material handling and robotic systems for production processes such as those in the Program. A recent estimate by the Army has put the cost of the Stockpile Program at about 16 billion dollars. Unlike many other OTC Bulletin Board companies, Startech Environmental is a fully reporting company, and as such is required to report and disclose its company and financial information in the same detail and format as any Fortune 500 Company reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Have you seen PLAS stock price? $.10 low for the past year $.50 high for the past year $.30 last traded 4/20/98 It is traded on the Canadian Dealing Network. One of the last news release I was able to pick up concerned a reverse split of 5 for 1 effective 8-6-97. A statement in this news release also stated, "Plasma Environmental is a Canadian company which develops, imports, and markets a plasma-based waste destruction technology". This statement is similar in that STHK as they also develops, imports and markets a plasma-based waste destruction technology.This statement is from STHK homepage. "The Startech Plasma Waste Converter is a new technology that will prevent pollution by safely and economically processing all solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes; organic and inorganic; hazardous and non-hazardous; even nuclear wastes". $4.75 low for the past year $14.12 high for the past year $8.75 last traded 4/20/98 From all that I've read about both companies it seems STHK has a definite upper edge on PLAS on all counts.
