Georgia Power's Plant Bowen is spewing poisonous mercury

I've said it before, and I will say it again: Plant Bowen, our nearby coal-burning power plant that was grandfathered in by the Bush Family et al (didn't have to meet EPA pollution standards until just recently, got away from a lot of levied fines over the years) is one of the scariest things about this podunk state.

I utterly believe that Plant Bowen gets away with this because of the amount of poverty, ignorance, and minorities that reside in the area. Where the fuc& is the NAACP when you need them?
