This could be the most polluting proposal in the history of mankind, and the Riverkeepers, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth and the rest will line up to hail Hillary! for her bold environmental vision. They'll probably call it "recycling" or something...

The environmental candidate?
-----
This charlatan will be the master of being anything she needs to be, at any time. Remember how she all of the sudden became a Yankee fan, or a jew -- prior to the NY election? We might as well start calling her the woman (?) of a thousand faces. Maybe her girlfriends would object to that...notice how the MSM NEVER shows her below her shoulders...they don't want to lose advertisers!!!

As soon as she received the bribe, she thought it was a "go."

I don't know much about this so I looked it up. It appears that it's right on the NY border and any pollutants would go straight in to VT. So, she makes her NY voting base happy and to hell with the environment in VT?

Here's what I looked up:


Burning tires also releases dioxin, which was recognized by the EPA in 1985 as the most potent human-made carcinogen known. Dioxin does not break down in the environment but builds up in the food chain, concentrating in meat and dairy products.



IP's Ticonderoga mill already test-burned tire-derived fuel in 1997. They tried to keep the results from this test hidden, because they showed significant increases in emissions of heavy metals and gasses, including:

a two-fold increase in the amount of mercury found in fly ash

a five-fold increase in the amount of zinc found in fly ash

increases in sulfur dioxide emissions

increases in the overall opacity of smokestack emissions
Thanks to Vermont State Auditor Elizabeth Ready for uncovering the data from IP's 1997 TDF test burn. See Drew's letter to the editor for more information.



I.P.'s mill is located in New York,
so it gets permits from New York.

However, the mill sits on the border of Vermont,
and Vermonters suffer most from the pollution.

These must be the flaming tires that Dan Rather tried to warn us about!

I don't get it. Is the burner in Vermont or in New York? If it is in Vermont, what the heck is she doing even getting involved. If the burner is in New YOrk, she should let her State regulators do their job.

I'm sure she can work something out with her buddies Dean and Jeffords.

Wow that is clearest picture I've seen showing what front were capped and what are original. Now let me go back and check out where the wrinkles should have been.
