Suing for the right to pollute

[madamesilverspurs]

"A Canadian company seeking to mine uranium in northwestern Weld County has filed suit against the state of Colorado, claiming that recently adopted rules for keeping groundwater clean are unreasonable.

Powertech Uranium Corp., through its South Dakota subsidiary Powertech (USA) Inc., filed the action Nov. 1 in Denver District Court.

The suit challenges various specific rules, adopted in August, designed to require companies such as Powertech to return the groundwater to its original purity when the process is complete.

1. How would Fox "News" spin this?

First idiot: (Laughing)) "Well, here's one for you... The liberals in Colorado are trying to destroy jobs and drive a small business owner to bankruptcy with their regulations for, get this, ground water! Can you imagine? They want this company to put the ground water back like it was before!"

Other idiot: (With disgusted look) "Apparently the Democrats don't understand that they just got pushed out of power and we are taking our country back!"

{No mention of Uranium anywhere}

ad nauseum and more food for really stupid people.

2. What a liberal, socialist commie thing to want....

Clean water! How dare we. It is shameful when the rights of human wellbeing gets in the way of a company that wants to make a buck.
