Enough is Enough!

This is becoming a regular thing – nasty emissions from the Arcelor Mittal / Dofasco meltshop. This one was taken at about 2:20 pm today (Apr 3, 2008). Maybe we should join in with Lorna and the others protesting next time (see http://thespec.com/article/348902) - let's get a mass movement going. Enough is enough!!!!

The Weekend of the Big Race

If the Around the Bay Race is the oldest road race in North America, you would think it would be honoured appropriately, at the very least by limiting emissions for the weekend for the sake of the runners. As the next few posts will show, however, this was not the case. The tall, black-banded US Steel stack (coke battery 7?) smoked frequently and for long periods of time. There were periodic plumes from Dofasco as well.
