The James Bay project-A crime against the environment

[canadianfriend]

The James Bay project has become a major issue because of public concern about the state of the environment. Environmental impacts of this project include many problems like methyl mercury contamination of water in reservoirs and downstream rivers aswell as mercury accumulation within the organism of fish. This project brings too many problems and should be stopped!
What do you think guys?

Hey. Your right. They should burn nat gas for electricty instead.

Why don't you ask the girls as well? Are you sexist AND stupid?

Mercury is a naturally occurring element, released when dams are built and areas are flooded.

We should mothball all hydro projects and go 100% nuclear...................right...........Better yet, coal-fired.

I have a good idea. Build wind and solar to make HHO to burn in the power plants. That's green and really expensive but it will create jobs.

 

[Cliffy]

There are alternatives to all of those options coming on stream. There are also options to crude oil coming on line. The future is bright if we can crawl out of our old mindsets.

Methyl mercury isn't nearly as sexy as saying green house gases or anthropogenic global warming... Also, ya can't tax naturally occurring methyl mercury.

 

[petros]

The greens need mercury for their thermometers.

Where there is a will, and an Liberal or NDP governement, there will be a way.

Let me google that for you

I am curious as to where the mercury contamination comes from. Is it in any way connected to the construction of dams or does it come from other sources like pulp and paper mills and coal-fired power plants?

 

[petros]

Nature.

I agree with DaSleeper ! We can't just dismiss the social aspects. The Crees population have been severely affected by the construction of the James bay project ! And I found that utterly unacceptable to distress local people for our benefit !

So lets stop ALL resource extraction and development. That ot to show those urban greenies when their power goes out and they run out of toilet paper. Come to think of it if there was not a demand for products and energy in the cities all us rural citizens would soon be out of a job just like they want.

Naw, they can just stick their limp dicks out. If it freezes it is cold, if it burns it is hot.

If Greens ever find out about copper mining/smelting and their 100% dependence on it they are screwed,

How will they get around using anything electric even if it is solar or wind run?

How do they get around the carbon foot print they make jetting from protest to protest?
Far as I know most of them still wipe their a ss es but that does not stop them from protesting logging.

 

[petros]

You can buy a sapling from most airlines or agentsa thereof to "offset" you carbon foot print. These offset trees only need to be tended for only 5 years, then the land can be cleared and more saplings sold at $40 a crack.

Nice scam.

Wonder how people will react when Canada stops free running fresh water going to the Arctic ocean when farmers and cites will need it.

Hydro does cause damage but people want electricity. How many clothes lines do you see in Suzuki's crowd??? Not a one I would venture.

In Suzuki's neck of the woods it could take months to dry your clothes using a line.
