Who will lead us?

Well, so far we've seen no real leadership on the city or state level to clean up mercury emissions. What can we expect on the national level?

According to National Resources Defense Council Senior Attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "They (the Bush Administration) plan to treat mercury pollution from power plants as non-hazardous even though mercury is one of the world's most dangerous substances. Why? So that those plants can keep pumping mercury into our air., where it rains down on lakes and oceans and winds up in the fish we eat."
