On (Apparent) Double Standards - Part 1
Wow. Look at that oily sheen. That is a mess.
I was just looking at some pictures of the floodwaters in New Orleans. And I was thinking about all the articles and comments I've read and heard about how toxic the water in the city is and how polluted it is. Then I was thinking that it's curious the same government that enacted CERCLA and is requiring GE to spend over $400 million to perform a clean-up operation that appears to be of debatable merit** is pumping (or at least approving/permitting the pumping) the toxic, polluted floodwaters out of New Orleans into the canals and the Mississippi River. See below. On the right is flooded New Orleans. Water is being pumped out of there. Into the part on the left, the Seventeenth Street Canal. Water is being pumped into there. And it eventually flows (I believe) into the Gulf of Mexico.
Look at that film on the water on the left. Disgusting. Apparently it's a lesser of two evils? I don't know. Maybe. It sure is interesting, though. Makes the environmental enforcement movement seem pretty political. Not that I should be surprised about that, I guess.
** Here are some pro-clean up versions of the story from the Natural Resources Defense Council and The Nation. Here is the current GE website about the Hudson River cleanup.
