Incredibly stupid. Have people learned nothing from what happened in Ohio?

Company has connections with death worshipping extremist Bill Gates, there's no accountability in this country for poisoning millions, what could go wrong?

costs of the project had skyrocketed from $58 per megawatt hour to $89 per megawatt hour.

Just wait until this beast goes live. I bet it's going to skyrocket $890 per megawatt hour.

And vinyl chloride is used to make one of the safest and most cost effective plastics in common use by man.

It's never as simple as people want to make it out to be.
