“If you breathe it, in its pure form, it is a lung irritant. In its pure form, on skin contact, it will cause irritation. If you drink this stuff, you have to drink quite a bit of it in order to die,” said Ziemkiewicz.

So dilute it with a crap ton of water and it gets what? Federal disaster status? To bad it wasnt a solar panel plant. They would say "Drink up".

Yea, that's the sad part... yet another nail in the coffin for coal.
 
That's my point. It looks like they are making a big deal for political reasons.

Isn't Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia and a long way from the water issues in West Virginia?

You are correct... the water issues in the capitol city of Charleston WV are flushing out into the Ohio river by now.

With the amount of blatant corruption this govt has. If they tell me the sky is blue, I'm gonna look up and make sure.
 
Smith Mountain had a lot of boaters come from WV, we knew a guy named Jim. Just wondering

So basically this is another EPA caused problem. By requiring scrubbers, and apparently the chemical at issue is used for that, they have provided an atmosphere for this occurrence. Kind of reminds me of the gasoline additive that the EPA required, which subsequently leaked into the ground water.

If we got rid of the freakin' EPA, this kind of stuff wouldn't be occurring.

I agree with most of what you say.

You mean tanks never leaked until the EPA was established? :smt101:smt043
 
This has been my question. What to do with the stuff we clean the other stuff with? Since the stuff we use to clean the other stuff with is more potent than the polluting stuff, doesn’t the cleaning stuff now become the new polluting stuff? So we must have tighter controls on the cleaning stuff and the way it is stored.
I propose we create a new agency to oversee the cleaning stuff that is used to make business comply with the EPA on the polluting stuff.
