Alcoa cleanup

Posted

I believe lawmakers not only gave Alcoa a break on power in the power, for, jobs agreement it negotiated. I also believe the EPA agreement to cap Alcoa PCB dumping vs. completely dredging the rivers also was a cost savings effort in an attempt to insure Alcoa did not close the plant due to the financial burden of the later. Since Alcoa has decided to suspend/close operations, not only should we expect full refund of the discounted power, but, that we should revisit the cleanup agreement and have Alcoa completely dredge the rivers to remove their pollution. Don’t just take the jobs as you leave the area; take your pollution too.
