Titan

Once again I have that "where was I and was I asleep or what?"
This POS bill passed Oct.6 2011. Kissell is listed as one of the cosponsors.
What is wrong with these reps? Are they retarded or corrupted?
Most of these pinheads would outlaw abortion but apparently don't give a damn about mercury and birth defects.

The tags should be 'completely frustrated, can't take it anymore and goin' nuts'...

Today the grassroots group, Citizens Against Titan will present Hanover County Commissioners with a petition signed by over 5,000 concerned citizens. The proposed cement plant to be built in Castle Hayne, north of Wilmington, would likely emit hundreds of pounds of mercury annually, along with a number of other greenhouse gases. Much like the coal used to power the plant, limestone the main ingredient in cement, also contains mercury. This makes the cement industry one of the nations top mercury polluters.

A proposed coal-power cement plant is threatening 1000 acres of wetlands along the Cape Fear River. North Carolina's wetlands not only provide vital wildlife habitats, but are nature's way of reducing and preventing the risk of floods along a river's banks. The proposed cement plant would not only destroy a large portion of this natural flood buffer, but would spew the neurotoxin mercury and other polluntants into the surrounding air and water.

If you would like to take action to delay the construction of this plant while a thorough environmental impact study is completed, please click here to email your state senator through the North Carolina Conservation Network's website.

Senate Bill 699 calls for an 18-month moratorium on the construction of cement plants. This gives time for environmental studies to be conducted and reviewed without the eminent threat of the destruction of our wetlands.
