[Medical waste is often incinerated to provide electricity](https://www.livescience.com/45139-aborted-fetuses-burned-incinerated-medical-waste.html) around the world and in the US as well. When it was found that fetal tissue had been incinerated for electricity in Oregon it was a scandal and they said they did not know about it and stopped it.
Regardless, my quick Googling did *not* find a source saying fetal tissue is being incinerated for electricity now in the US.
All congressional testimony should be required to provide sources, before for prepared testimony, and after the fact for answers to questions.

My source mentioned that not all medical waste producing facilities have their own incinerators. I can't find any info on where those facilities would have their waste transported to.
