Superfund was passed with the good intention of cleaning up America's toxic waste sites.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there is a direct correlation between interest shown by a member of Congress on these projects and the progress that is made. I think it gives the Superfund effort some credibility, lets citizens know we are serious about these cleanups.
Congress must make it clear that common animal waste will not expose farmers to liability under Superfund, while ensuring continued action to clean up legitimate hazardous waste sites around the nation.
It is important for me to personally visit Superfund sites to assess the progress being made.
Obviously, waste disposal is an enormous and fantastic industry.
We must go through every area of the federal budget to isolate waste and abandoned projects.
New Jersey has more Superfund sites than other state in the nation, but considerable progress has been made.
We have been getting ready to recycle more e-waste by investing in infrastructure, providing grants to local government and working with industry.
The U.S. has a proud history of cleaning up our air through technological innovation. We did it with leaded gas, acid rain and countless other pollutants, and we can do it with carbon pollution, too.
Pond scum stinks. And so do the Obama administration's enormous, taxpayer-funded 'investments' in politically connected biofuel companies.
I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to it.
