locals are obviously looking for any opportunity to nit-pick
the comments on the link are super reactionary, it's clear lots of those folks have no idea what they're talking about. not that any pollution is good, but calling on BE to shut down over this is a little bit hysterical. after 50 years, the fact that they didn't find a hundred tons of glass in this drain sort of implies that BE hasn't been intentionally dumping shit in the sewer system.

i don't think people really have any concept of the pollution that industry, construction, even roads being used causes. selenium sounds scary enough to cause OUTRAGE! and no amount of education is going to stop the loudest yodelers from yodeling. this sounds to me like a case of virtue signalling, where the loudest is the right-est and everyone else hates the planet. heh.
