Hatters were said to have gone mad from the mercury used in treating furs for hats.
You can't ban an element on the periodic table. This is just another way for the EPA to take control using regulations. The mercury science is just as bad as the climate science.
Obastard don't need no stinking FACTS! Just so long as it makes US power more expensive and makes US companies spend more money so they are less competitive, he is fine with it.
Only another 946 pages of government regulations. What about all the poor trees that had to die to print this things?
DiHydrogen Monoxide is much more dangerous than mercury. Here’s proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3erdgVVTw
Danged hippy, pinko-commie, running-dog, anti-American, anti-capitalist, fear-mongers. Everyone in their right minds knows mercury is good for you, especially for babies and kids.
If mercury is so dangerous, why is it still legal to use it in dental fillings?
Blame that racist turd who heads EPA— Lisa Jackson
This is hate whitey in action. Oppress the productive sectors which are 97% white and Asian owned. A triumph for the affirmative action sector layabouts in the Federal Government of Obama and Lisa Jackson
Rip off American households via higher electricity rates all to eliminate a bit of mercury
As the article explains, selenium acts as defense against the mercury poisoning, by combining with the mercury and flushing it from the system. This is the exact same scenario that was found with arsenic, when the left was running their “arsenic in the water” scare campaign, but was ignored by the pseudo scientists who were hired to write the government position paper on arsenic in the water.
As a matter of fact, they used the exact same tribe, with the weird diet to prove the harmful effects of arsenic in the water, all the time knowing that the two states with the highest arsenic levels had the lowest rates of bladder cancer. I happen to read the Harvard arsenic study at the time, before it was finished, and noted that the overwhelming bulk of the data ran counter to the conclusions about the dangers of arsenic in the water, but they chose to focus on the one study that might prove their preconceived premise.
