IDIOTIC HAWK RIDGE PROPOSAL STILL VIABLE

It's not looking good. Firstly the powers that be decided somehow (miraculously?) that possibly fatal health effects weren't part of their good planning purview. At least that's how it looks to us lay persons when we finally learned that Hawk Ridge got busted years ago because of NOISE. Yes noise from trains shunting at Chemtura/Lanxess and Sulco in the middle of the night. Now don't get me wrong. Noise is not appreciated anytime but especially not in the middle of the night. So as the developers could not devise a system to keep the noise decibels below a certain criteria (Class 2) they did the next best thing. They changed the criteria to Classs 4 which allows for a higher decibel count but it will be much better for citizens woken up in the midlle of the night as they understand that it was legal noise that woke them, not illegal noise. And that logic folks explains why the human race is doomed. We are stupid enough to think it up and we are stupid enough to believe it and for the non-believers we are stupid enough not to do anything about it. ................................................................................................................................. Oh and back to toxic fumes. Closed windows and mandatory air conditioning might somewhat lessen the impact of both noise and odours but if the power is out windows will be open in the summer negating the mitigation completely. Will air conditioning stop a horrible out of control fire from LanxessCanada? Who knows but at least those suffocating or burning to death will do it in air conditioned comfort. Maybe. Or not. Same kind of logic as regards changing a criteria in order to meet it. Somewhat like the bad old days (?) of increasing the permitted concentration of a contaminant in drinking water if you couldn't meet the old one. Afterall no need to scare the locals, what.

  1. Barry S., troll, continues his ignorant plethora of petty, smart ass comments of no public value. I guess that's what trolls and other cowards do.

  2. comments from Barry S. such as "What a pile of crap" do not advance the discussion. Also he's too yellow to even use his real name hiding behind "anonymous" sometimes and false names other times.
