The government of 50 years ago was in all probability warned of the consequences, as they are, even in to-day's mining undertakings. BUT, NO , this is "Development and Progress", they tell us. It is economics and will bring jobs.
Now, we know different.! The consequences are indeed grim. And rectification, if possible, will be costly. Economics,be damned. This was a tragedy just waiting to happen. It sure isn't Progress!
There is a stern lesson here. Will Government(s) pay attention and Learn? I have my doubts.
Thank You Larry. A great article . Hopefully the public and government,will take the time to read and get educated to the fact(s) that these are poisons that will kill, not only the intended weeds …but also humans, and infect our water supply.
