That damn pollution barge may do huge damage to Florida Keys.!

Bastards. No link yet, just had thorough, heartbreaking coverage on WTVT Tampa/St.Pete

They will continue dumping though. There is absolutely no national coverage of this thing. I have posted and posted, and I have tried to get attention. Jeb is so protected by the national press that no one covers it.

Damn them!

1. Here are some links, but several days old.

Tonight's news sounded an alarm bell.

Now they know this is happening:
SNIP..."Currents are carrying some of the water from the dump area toward the Florida Keys. Satellite images showed traces of the waste-water stream near Marathon on Friday, and it was expected to continue flowing toward the East Coast, leaving some worried that fish-killing red tides or a "black water" algal bloom could result...."

SNIP...."When the Piney Point dumping project came to light earlier this year, many Bay area residents voiced their displeasure.

Now it appears as though their worries may be justified. A recently captured satellite image detects that the plume of wastewater is making its way back towards the coast......"

How can people let this happen? How can the national news ignore it?

2. This is just really horrible.

Why do we keep coming up with stuff we have no idea how to safely get rid of? I just do not get it. Somehow I think these guys think that if they can't see it it won't hurt them.
