NOT MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT HOW GE HAS BENEFITT4ED FROM LAX EPA ENFORCEMENT IN THE HUDSON RIVER CLEAN-UP (OF THE PCB'S GE DUMPED THERE).
ONLY WE COVERED IT.
IT'S TIME SOME OF THE BIGGIES DID SOME INVESTIGATING.
BACKGROUND:
AND OBAMA'S EPA IS GOING EASY ON THEM.A National Academy of Sciences committee has stated that "Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) pose the largest potential carcinogenic risk of any environmental contaminant for which measurements exist."
Since 1929, over one million pounds of PCBs have been released into the Hudson River. Dumping and leakage from General Electric (GE) plants at Fort Edward and Hudson Falls have resulted in PCB contamination of the water, animal and plant life, and sediment in the Hudson River. This contamination is present from Hudson Falls to New York City -- 200 miles that compose the nation's largest non-government Superfund site.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... I WUNDA WHY?
