so idk a better place to rant about this because i dont feel like making its own topic for it but it's not really a partisan issue so why would i put it in the political thread
so up in jefferson county west virginia like <20 miles away from where i live a company called rockwool industries is buildin a 21 story tall smokestack and it's really starting to piss me off. they only accomplished getting the space for it through shady deals (and literally used a code name for it until the epa approved it). basically it's gonna be dumping a bunch of formaldehyde lead antimony and arsenic into the area through soil and air and will reeeeeally screw with the forgetin elementary school its just across from. the process they use to make their material is garbage as hell and in the past has screwed up
texas,
missouri, and
croatia, with some links to developing tumors in the area but not enough for a definitive case to be made yet. they're a denmark based company that wasn't legally allowed to build their factories in denmark because it was "too dangerous to the environment and population" so they just decided to come over here and build factories to process slag metal
atm they're gonna build a factory in west virginia which'll forget with jefferson county and, where i live, loudoun county by completely boning our whole agrotourism which basically makes us half the money our local govt and private business gets, and will kill off our bees and ruin the shenandoah valley. so yeah, love smokestacks
