Trump EPA Says Mercury Limits On Coal Plants Too Costly, Not 'Necessary'

[Captain Obvious]

Yet capitalism has raised the lives of more than anything else.

Lesser of the evils, I get that point.

You live in Ohio, so did I at one point. Explain that to the high cancer rate families living in trailers, how well they're off under capitalism.

Ask them how well they're off in this system.

This whole country was heated by coal not that long ago. Yet, none of us has two heads or three eyes. A lot of nonsense.

They decreased overall mercury emissions. Did your talking points authors neglect to tell you that? The electricity saved by the bulbs meant less mercury emitted by burning coal, so less mercury overall.

Remember, you being misinformed about a topic doesn't make us hypocrites. We're liberals, so one should always start out by assuming we're well-informed and consistent.

So the mercury they'll be able to pump into the environment now is ok then?

Got it

Hope you don't eat fish, or anything else.

The true cost of capitalism is always born on the backs of the poor and underprivileged.

Just like clockwork

Indeed.

It was a political decison.

Yeah, some of "us" do, maybe you need to get out from behind your old man walls a little and ask around.

Wear your expensive huge sunglasses too, just pull the blinders off of them.

But that's pure evil!

You and Captdon should go on a road trip, beyond your walls and youtube videos and see what reality is.

Or you can just stay there behind the safety of your laptops.

I almost feel sorry for you people. Not that you're that not well off but that you're that ignorant.

Where do you get your insults, out of a textbook? Or from Cliff Clavin at the bar? So predictable.

Like clockwork, you blame capitalism all the time. Without having any idea what capitalism is since you conflate it with the government making political decisions.

I author my own talking points, do you? How could they possibly compile data as to how many CFL bulbs end up in landfills? Do you have data to support YOUR issued talking points? You'll forgive if I don't assume you are "well informed".
