A WIN for the Environment!

Good Evening (or whenever you read this).

Some good news.

I saw the story on WIVB .com and WKBW .con this afternoon during break.

My apologies to WGRZ.  Break was over before I had a chance to check their site.

Amherst decided against using fracking waste waster on its streets as a de-icing agent during winter weather.

There are other safer (and environmentally friendly) ways to do this,

I'm happy.

Let's enjoy a little victory.

One that helps out Western New York.

A little icing on the cake (pun if you want it) – Entergy Corporation is closing the nuclear power plant in Oswego.

Evidently it's not profitable (never was for the people). After all funding nuclear energy costs $15+ a kWh. That's too expensive in my book.

Sit back. Breathe and relax for a moment.

We have more work to do.

The Town of Clymer is using the cancer causing killer chemicals on its roads.

It thinks it is saving money.

Wait for the bills for the water pollution and other environmental damage to come in.

And then there are are cancer cases waiting in the wings.

The sooner we help them change course, and the municipalities in Livingston County that are making the same mistake and run the risk of contaminating Lake Ontario, the sooner we can put the frackers out of business.

We also need to get Indian Point closed. That's down-state.  And we need to help our NYC comrades.

Piece by piece we will win.

It's nice to have a victory.

And if you're sitting on your laurels, they are on the wrong end of your body…..

Now let's get ready for the next victory.
