Well, it is sort of embarrassing, considering the amount of money we're
wasting in other places.

I've also heard that coal-burning power plants don't release mercury into
the atmosphere. And, even if they did, mercury's not a problem and it
doesn't build up in the water, and the fish we eat. Even though it does.
