This hysteria reminds me of the Nickel mines in Northern Ontario. For decades, they dumped high-sulfur compounds up the smokestacks. The surrounding area had millions of trees die or get stunted, and the rocks etched black from decades of sulfuric acid.

After much kicking and screaming, they were forced to put precipitators on the stacks to remove the sulfuric acid.

Which they then sold for more money than it cost to add the precipitators.

Oops.

These people pollute and lie about even when they would make more money by not polluting.
