Thanks to Duke Power, for adding some heavy metals to the watershed, so much a 8'' crappie will now weigh 2.7 pounds. Citations for everyone.

Thanks genec. My main concern is the consumption of contaminated fish. Have you heard of any consumption advisories yet?Quote:

Let it be a lesson for Duke, and its stockholders to not place profits ahead of the cost of doing what is necessary to protect the environment. I don't think that anyone has an inkling of an idea as to what the far-reaching effects of this spill will have om the waters, fish, and human physiological consequences. It may be many decades before all the, now hidden, effects become apparent. All I can say is, it's one mell-of-a-hess that didn't have to happen; and the blame rests on Duke and NCDENR for being complicit in their responsibilities to the welfare of the public. B-
Everyone in the know seams to be silent,only heard not to eat fish on the dan river,they are checking kerr but who know when we will hear the answer
You can be sure of one thing - - - - when it comes to big government and, or, big business, you won't hear much; not when they know that they are in trouble. Transparency is a joke - - - on us. If we knew what was in all the food that we eat, we would probably starve to death. B-Quote:

So, pray tell how is discussion to move along if the elephant in the room is to be not to be mentioned. I can understand not wanting to see the usual hysterical partisan tirades, yet to ignore the obvious is in reality obscuring both the problem and possible remedies.
