Have you fallen for the environmentalism meme?

Yeah I know tho everything is always about how bad air pollution is and it always makes me laugh how little leftists understand how coal plants in the US work they have scrubber stacks that remove 95% of SO2 which is the main pollutant they give off. The smoke is actually water vapor. I will admit that chemical runoff from agricultural fields is a problem tho.

Right, but the coal plants had to be fought tooth and nail to get them to put up scrubbers. They didn't do it because they wanted to.

I wish they would of advertised the fact they can sell the byproduct from the scrubber stacks since it is used for commercial building products. Even with the plants that have them it seems like they still throw away like 60% of it.

What do they make with it? Cement?

It was as simple as issuing an edict. They complied, end of story. It's amazing how much leftists don't understand about how ANY sources of energy work honestly, they fearmonger about nuclear energy when nuclear is the most promising source of energy we have, and they fearmonger against coal even when it's the only thing that props up the economy in my state.

Cinderblocks, cinderblocks are made with coal cinders.

I'm on board for nuclear, though we should be a bit mindful of fault lines and retarded kikes like those at Fukushima. Neat about cinderblocks though, didn't know that.

Also drywall,chalk and plaster.

Same with my state now they can't even pay the city works and teachers. They used the natural gas boom to try and kill the coal industry in the US. Think they shut the coal mines down here then like a year later it was either Koch brothers or like Soros who bought them up at like a 1/10 of the cost.

dude trees lmao

Urban centers are the problem, there is no way to fix them. You can do things like this temporarily, on a small scale, but it won't be enough. The only way you can really address the problem for you is to not live in one.
