“Why does the EPA not blow the whistle on the destruction of the environment as well as human health by the addition of Fluoride to water supplies? 99% of the polluted water is not consumed, but carries the toxin into our groundwater, rivers and oceans. If the British Soil Scientists oppose fluoridation on environmental grounds, what is the EPA excuse for not monitoring and reporting the damage? After all, the Victorian EPA has shown Fluoride emissions from industrial processes are killing wildlife. See www.fluoridealert.org”
“The HRL 300mw dual gas (coal fired) power station that the EPA authorised will make burning brown coal equivalent to a burning black coal. Described by the EPA as best practice, it's been claimed that the average emissions intensity will be between 0.73 and 0.78. The average emissions intensity of power plants in the OECD is about 0.45 tonnes, it will emit up to 4.2 million tonnes of CO2 additional to the 117mt Victoria already emits annually, because it isn't replacing any current generators. How can the EPA be protecting the environment when the HRL decision will so clearly damage it? ”
“How will EPA protect residents adversely affected by living within 1 km of Hepburn Winds' turbines at Leonards Hill?”
