EPA chief called on to retract inflammatory falsehood made on Daily Show | JunkScience.com

It seems those on the LEFT are also willing to make "mistakes" and say things that are completely untrue, but nevertheless support their cause. Translation, everyone has an agenda, which is why we need at least two sides to an issue.

Mercury is dangerous, but in the amounts that come out of our powerplants, it's not a risk. It's not destroying anyone's brain. That being said, as I always say, getting our power in such a way as to enable us to not have to release anything like it would be a good thing. The real problem is that the hyperbole makes the reasonable conversation go out the window. Why not just say, "as the concentrations go up, it will eventually become a problem. I want us to focus on cheap power sources that don't have that waste product." Something like that would be wise, and would be inarguable from someone on the other side. Agreement out of the way, the next question is how to get there. Working together, even for different reasons, is better.
