Boy, #SanfordME seems to be the target of #Greenwashing #SnakeOilSalesmen! First an Amazon #Datacenter, now they want to truck all the #PFAS to a plant that may or may not work!
Residents pack Sanford forum on #biosolids plant, asking questions and voicing concerns
#AriesCleanTechnologies saw a major turnout at the open house it held to explain its proposal, and some attendees were left frustrated by a lack of answers.

Excerpt: "According to the official Aries Technologies website, the gasification process destroys 99% of forever chemicals. [I've seen other percentages cited! 95%, 97%... Who knows exactly how much?!!]
"Some people aren’t convinced.
'We haven’t seen any third-party research that backs their claims,' said Eve Dumont-Wilson, a representative from the #SanfordCleanAirAndWaterCoalition, a group that began this month to promote transparency from Aries and share its concerns over the possible environmental impacts of the proposed treatment center.
" 'We want assurances that they will be held accountable in the event of a spill,' Dumont-Wilson explained, adding that one of the coalition’s concerns is how little research has been done into the process Aries uses." [Sneaky, sneaky! Just like the datacenters!!!]
[...]
"Despite these assurances, the developer faces a high bar in proving its #gasification technology is ready for large-scale use. Aries acknowledged its facility in #LindenNJ, has been 'temporarily idled' for equipment upgrades [and it only functioned intermittently for a year before being closed!]. The company maintains that the issues were related to dryers rather than the core technology."

"Mice eating less of specific amino acid — overrepresented in diet of obese people — live longer, healthier"
From the article:
"Isoleucine is plentiful in foods including eggs, dairy, soy protein and many kinds of meat."
😱 OMG! We have to stop eating eggs, dairy, soy protein, and many kinds of meat.
We have a special diet just for this!
Also, from the article:
"'We can’t just switch everyone to a low-isoleucine diet,' Lamming says."
🤔 Watch us confuse correlation and causation, put our fingers in our ears, and ignore this inconvenient comment.
