The mercury released from smokestacks here and abroad rains down into waterways, where natural processes convert it into methylmercury =97 a form that allows the toxin to wind its way up the food chain into fish." My local power plant is down on emissions by 85% of a few years ago. They now have technology to get close to 100% They also have technology to provide hydro power in rivers. Many miles of local rivers have zero hydro plants here. http://www.hydrogreenenergy.com/technology.html We are still putting PCB's in rivers everywhere. Its going to stay. I think we need to paint all roads with sun reflecting coatings, and all roofs too. That and MORE plants, would reduce sun heating by a huge amount. There is also technology to produce oil from coal with less harmfull effects. g |

Oh, but didn't you know that the sun's input has nothing to do with climate, according to those whose globes are warming do to going into overdrive attempting to justify GW against the facts and laws of physics.
