This whole “let’s inject chemicals into the earth and we’ll worry later about the results”:
Range Resources on Tuesday disposed of Marcellus shale drilling sludge in West Virginia that was deemed too radioactive for a Washington County landfill.
The Cecil-based company sent two roll-off boxes of material from a well pad in Smith Township in Washington County to Meadowfill Landfill in Bridgeport, W.Va., spokesman Matt Pitzarella said. On March 1, representatives from Arden Landfill in Chartiers turned the material away after it tripped radioactivity monitors.
“It’s incredibly rare that you get hits for any radiation that all landfills cannot accept,” Pitzarella said, noting that hospital materials and municipal waste also contain radiation. “This same scenario exists in every single industry.”
Range Resources returned the material to the work site to be tested before finding a place to dispose of it. No residents or workers were at risk, said John Poister, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Democrats are attacked by the Right because they’re “out to destroy America.” With their talk about global warming, replacing the fossil fuel industry by getting rid of coal and oil, giving Medicare to all, etc. Yep, that’s what the Democrats want. They say. By adopting those policies the America that currently exists will be destroyed. It will be replaced by a more eqalitarian America. But the Democrats need to drift much further to the Left (Clinton is Right) if they truly intend to solve America’s problems.
