EPA & Mercury

EPA Orders Mercury Pollution Cuts
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,150527,00.html

Now this is funny. The EPA is so worried about mercury from power plants. Wow, hard to argue with getting mercury out of the air. Wonder why they didn't think in those terms when they endorsed NAFTA? Seems adding poison to our food is OK, just don't poison the air. Much of our food is grown offshore now and countries, like Mexico, allow the use of poisons or chemicals ban in the US. So while you enjoy the DDT in your dinner, your air will have less mercury.
I am amazed at the number of people that think the EPA cares about the environment. All the manufacturing and farms that pollute the air in other countries. Do people really think bad air over there somewhere is going to stay there? Is there some kind of fence that keeps the air from moving around the world? Last I heard air just goes where it wants.
