Coal-fired power plants now far surpass incinerators as the top source for
the
pollutant. Scientists said people won't stop eating Great Lakes fish,
despite
advisories. They said the best way to protect them is with tougher mercury
controls at power plants, something the Bush administration has been
reluctant
to do under its Clear Skies Initiative.
"If we're going to solve these problems, we must solve them at the
source,"
said David Carpenter, a researcher at the State University of New York at
Albany.
This can't be done, according to Dave Hall, resident rec.boats knucklehead
and environmental guru. It's too expensive.
