    Can we just stop? Just stop. There is no legitimate reason to keep doing this to people and the planet.

    "The order also requires Chemours to reduce “facility-wide” emissions of “GenX compounds” by at least 99%. “GenX compounds” encompasses just three kinds of PFAS chemicals, Taylor said.

    Taylor did not respond to questions about why the agency would test for three compounds facility wide, but about 50 from the thermal oxidizer, but reiterated that Chemours emissions are in compliance with the consent order. He noted Chemours is only legally required to reduce emissions emitting from inside the plant, but is not responsible for PFAS in the air outside the plant."

        Kind of like how the fetuses are all-important, but once they’re born, fuck 'em. They’re on they’re own. Dear lord I hate this country.

      What do you mean there’s no legitimate reason? The system requires Chemours to reduce costs and increase profits.
