I wonder how big the replacement weights are going to be. 40% smaller if my demands in post #4 is met.

If they can come up with an alternative to using lead, why is this so ridiculous???
To: Red Badger
How about those little fishing sinkers I bite on so they clamp down on the line. I think they’re next.

Well, if we replace lead by depleted uranium (nice and heavy) from spent nuclear reactor cores, we would solve the "lead problem", as well as "what to do with nuclear waste". That's called a "win-win" situation!

“This is beyond ridiculous..”
Why?
To: Red Badger
Gee, now I’ll have to buy salmon sinkers instead of casting them from wheel weights. Oh, no big deal, I forgot that we’re not allow to fish for salmon anymore.

I think the solution is smaller more streamlined uranuim weights. The can be so small as to be pretty much unseen.

Cost, and I find it hard to believe that they actually pollute the environment.

How have people survived drinking Colorado water for thousands of years? The water table runs through these lead invested areas.
How do Texans, Louisiana, and Oklahomans live with all that oil in their water table? We are all gonna die, I tell you. You don't see any polar bears in Texas do you?

So what are they going to do about Leadville? The place high up in the mountains, it showers down lead on the rest of the country ... Lead is everywhere in Leadville.
