We get more mercury from China than our power plants produce.

Natural sources like volcaneos or vents on the bottom of the ocean dump about 4400 tons of mercury in the air each year.

China’s coal and oil fired power plants dump around 440 tons of mercury into the air each year.

US coal and oil fired power plants dump around 40 tons of mercury into the air each year.

Forest fires also dump around 40 tons per year.

Cremating humans dumps around 32 tons per year.

EPA’s new regulations on logging roads will result in a decline in logging which will in turn lead to massive forest fires and more mercury being dumped into the atmosphere.

Libs are really evil and dumb.
