EPA won't Stop BP plan to Dump More Pollution into Lake Michigan
The EPA is allowing the Corporation British Petroleum (BP) to dump more pollution into Lake Michigan. I have written a sponsored post about this here which basically tells BP's side of the story in more detail. I personally am against the dumping of more pollution into the Lake even though BP says they are within federal limits. There are lot of issues surrounding this new BP plant...and we do need oil...there is no doubt about that, but it just seems that when we allow corporations to continue to pollute our natural environment that we are heading in a backwards direction as a society instead of moving forward toward sustainable and renewable energy.

The hearing is open to the public. Any citizen is welcome to submit written testimony or petitions in advance.
Statements may be mailed to Rep. Scott Pelath's office at 200 West Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204.
thanks for the comment, got it and watched the video, this is so crazy how a few concerned activists really turned it around on BP, its quite amusing for me to see BP get the run around on this issue after already receiving a permit. Now they must deal with environmental activists...hurray!
They'll be hearing a Statement from me alright!
