The Air That We Breathe

     Ten States sued the EPA on Friday because that agency failed to post new revised regulations regarding soot...the air pollution from power plants and some vehicles.
     Alabama was not, of course, among them. Alabama wants The EPA to do just what is has done about the soot regulation: nothing. In fact, Alabama would be perfectly satisfied if every one of the EPA employees went home and turned off all of the lights.
     We are home, after all, to the country's largest toxic waste dump and the largest commercial landfill East of The Mississippi.
     Pollution R' Us.
     I took the picture on the right from the WERC traffic helicopter back the mid to late 1970's. As one of the good-ol'-boy D.J.s back then liked to quip "That's not pollution up there..that's jobs!"
