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.

source,"
said David Carpenter, a researcher at the State University of New

York at
Albany.

up for sale) and we limited out on yellow perch. He was out again 2 days later with
his wife and again limited out.
