Spokane is Suing Monsanto

Post by kalm »

The city is trying to meet a federal guideline to stop pollutants from entering the river by 2017. That $300 million cost is a great example corporate externalities.

Ganny?
Marlene Feist, the city’s utilities spokeswoman, called the suit “long-term litigation,” and noted that the city will spend $300 million to keep PCBs and other pollutants from entering the river in coming years.

PCBs have entered the river by various means, including through commercial and industrial products such as paint, hydraulic fluids, sealants, inks and others.

I think I'd rather deal with the stuff they're putting in the rivers vs. what they're putting in our food supply. :shock:
