Mercury pollution

[bassiusmaximus]

Dang Bassius, you're super close on this one. You make 2.1 billion sound cheap! We just flushed 2 bil down the toilet on the clunker program. New KIA or clean water? Hmmm. I also do not like cap and trade, but probably for different reasons. It simply allows existing coal burning facilities in our neighborhood to continue their emission levels, but at a cost. Which of course is translated into your monthly bill. And again, mercury is not addressed at all. And again....as fishermen.

Thats what I am saying here. Each and everyone of us woud not mind paying the 1.50 for making our environment better. Our country is reliant on these plants for sustaining our way of life and national security. Our government would be better investing in these issues with our money than on these other special interests. 2.1 Billion is not a small piece of change but when you compare it to what has been spent and what it was spent on. I would say its pretty insignificant and would have been money actually well spent on investing in our future. So better government not bigger government. I am not trying to be partisan or trying to kick sand. And I don't care if someone is Rep or Dem or Ind. If they cant do whats right I will throw any of them under the bus if they deserve it...and frankly about all of them do.
