LOL! Thanks for the link.
I went swimming in the Hudson once, back in the 70s. Broke out with an itchy rash all over my body. Never swam in it again.

I grew up on the Hudson River. It was bad and had been cleaned up pretty good during the 70’s and 80’s. You can fish pretty clearly now and I think that the Hudson River will be stirred up badly by this round. Not a good idea and I do not understand why it is happening after all the progress.
It always seems that the goobermint chooses a technology that either makes the problem worse, or at best just plain does not work. Bioremediation is a proven technology for treating numerous contaminant components in effluents. Dupont has been successfully using biotreatment to eliminate nickel from their effluent (Fluor Corporation was the E&C on that project).
See my rsponse to Vince Ferrer. It would have been much better to inject PCB digesting bugs directly into the location of PCB contamination. But that is too obvious, so the politician (Dumbocrat of course) as a rule picks a method that make it worse. Just like corn based ethanol. And when the situation does gets worse, well, IT’S BUSH’S FAULT! (standard liberal way out of anything)
“And when the situation does gets worse, well, IT’S BUSH’S FAULT! (standard liberal way out of anything)”
Perhaps more significant is that goobers in gubberment agencies can clamor for more funds to ‘keep cleaning the Hudson’.
More Funds - what fun!
funny, I thought it was Albany.
Definately - at least when the legislature is in session.
