To the Editor:
Seven truckloads of debris were removed from the busted wind turbine blade, in Nantucket. Think about how easy a cleanup that was vs. Exxon Valdez, or Deepwater Horizon, or the regular leaking oil in any Gulf of Mexico transfer line. Or, more impactfully, how much easier that was to clean up than trying to capture carbon pollution in our atmosphere and air.
Is there the same faux outrage and concern for all the plastic bottles dripping forever chemicals into your gut?
