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.

knucklehead
and environmental guru. It's too expensive.
I heard that the fungicides in latex paint were a major source. Paint
less, fish more.

I was out with a buddy fishing off his 26 foot Lyman last week (mine is on blocks and
up for sale) and we limited out on yellow perch. He was out again 2 days later with
his wife and again limited out.
