1. Here I thought Detroit's industrial base was shot. Looked righteous to me.

its sad that in america we value money over health & clean drinking water we should invest in alternative energy instead of wars

republicans think that global warming is a joke for some reason even after major natural disasters like hurricane sandy - example rand paul

5. Oops, pardon our dust.

We are in the process of dismantling the city of Detroit and turning it into a libertarian paradise. Once completed... On second thought, you might want to think about moving Windsor.

6. But I thought they were hoseing it down every month, to keep the dust down,.

guess that was just not enough to contain it. Don't worry though petroleum coke dust is not very toxic, and it will take years of exposure befor you will develop miners-lung. Well at least that is what we think since we did a study on rats and monkeys for only two years of exposure; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3578291

All is well nothing to see here, move along. Are you interested in living without taxes on Belle Isle, it is up wind from the pet-coke piles so no problems,. just have to steal the park from the city.

7. Get with the program, Kochies!

Time to move the giant pile to an Indian reservation, or somewhere in a poor neighborhood in Louisiana - Cancer Alley would be a good choice.

8. Seems to me I heard that they ARE moving it

to some location where there is less noise about it but the money is the same. I can't say for sure though.

This is waste from the tar sands of Canada blowing back to Canada; a disaster for my beloved Detroit and my beloved Canada.

Fuck the Kochs. In every fucking orifice they have.
