Gene -

very funny. At least you finally admit that the emissions from these plants are poisons - that's a step toward recognizing reality from earlier when you claimed that the proposed SLC plant was going to be a giant air cleaner!

Emissions that go out over the oceans are more widely dispersed and so don't concentrate - which is the most dangerous situation. Also, the long-term effects of these pollutants on the marine eco-system are unknown, whereas the effects on people living downwind are clearly documented.

I agree that a better solution would be to not burn tires at all until technology is available to control all these dangerous emissions. But if someone is going to burn them - as you seem to advocate - they should do it in a way that minimizes damage to people.

Possible damage to the oceans or CERTAINLY spewing poisons on your friends and neighbors - which would you choose, Gene? OOOh! Think hard!
