Great Day For Toxic Waste!

Well, this is exciting, especially if you hate clean water and love toxic waste.

The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday approved a last-minute rule change by the Bush administration that will allow coal companies to bury streams under the rocks leftover from mining.

Thank God. I was so tired of streams running loose in the wild.

The 11th hour change before President George W. Bush leaves office would eliminate a tool that citizens groups have used in lawsuits to keep mining waste out of streams. Mining companies had been pushing for the change for years.

Yay! Go toxic waste!
