Thread Name: BS: Will Obama approve the XL pipeline?
Subject: RE: BS: Will Obama approve the XL pipeline?
Jay Inslee is one of the good guys. Read a bit further.
So far, nearby monitoring wells haven't detected higher radioactivity levels.

Inslee then travelled to Washington, D.C., to discuss the problem with federal officials, learning in meetings Friday that six tanks are leaking.
The article goes on to say that the leaking tanks do not AS YET pose a health risk. BUT—it's necessary that we get cracking on it right away.

And that's what Inslee is concerned about.

By the way, the article goes on to say
The federal government built the Hanford facility at the height of World War II as part of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. The remote site produced plutonium for the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, and continued supporting the U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal for years.
So, just whose responsibility is it, anyway? Governor Jay Inslee and the State of Washington? Or the Federal Government?
