Tehachapi Lehigh Cement plant continues to spew mercury laden coal dust and limestone into our shared air. I’ve contacted and made complaints to East Kern Air Pollution control district and they merely flap their jaws.

Lehigh has been whining for years about coughing up the money to install pollution devices. Tehachapi has an extraordinary number of children with ADHD, autism, low IQs and life-long health problems like that of our beloved Mayor’s child. The carrot used by this foreign company is that they’ll take the jobs elsewhere. Well, Lehigh, don’t let the door hit you in the rump on the way out.
I have photos of a huge coal ash cloud blowing across the valley from Lehigh right into Tehachapi. Unfortunately, these site doesn’t accept photos.

James Taylor’s article Forbes Op-Ed-The EPA’s Shocking ‘Oops’ Moment,
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2012/02/01/the-epas-shocking-oops-moment/
arrived at the calculation that for each life an EPA regulation allegedly extends, that extended life creates $9.1 million in benefits.

And of course it’s just ridiculous to still outlaw lead in gasoline and paint, because the amount of man-made lead pollution pales in comparison with what nature locked up in mountains and underground. Some might suggest that dispersing the man-made lead, or in this case mercury, within populated areas wily-nilly and in the form of PM that it takes, actually ends up harming many more people than natural Mercury or lead exposure, but that is just the Devil’s science at work.
