re: #340 lrsshadow

and thus we should do nothing…

We know that burning coal releases mercury. We find that fish in rivers have higher mercury levels when they are in a certain distance to coal-fired power plants. We see that people who eat too much mercury get sick. Too bad we don’t have 100% proof that those coal-fired plants are doing harm to people…

Your logic would mean throwing up your hands and waiting. My logic says that we can reduce the risk, improve the plants, reduce their emissions.
