NL-Outsidethebox [confederation]

Why you ask?
Well think about it everything that goes into the air west of us eventually comes down in the East in the form of precipitation. Because all weather wind wind travels from east to west due to the rotation of the globe and the jet stream. NL's only saving grace is the Gulf of Saint Lawrence filters out some of the pollution before land fall.
(Labrador is the exception)

So not only is central Canada taking our raw resources from us but they are giving us back the pollution from the processing of our own raw materials.

Here are some links to lime doser projects to revitalize salmon rivers.

Just as an after thought, upon looking at the contour maps from the Gov NL's Enviorment site the alkalinity around the out fall of NL's hydro projects seems to have the highest concentrations? CornerBrook bay from Grand Lake and Hinds lake and the area in and around the Upper Churchill reservoir. Maybe this is nothing but it begs for furture investigation, what with the Lower churchill in the planning stages.

All is not lost though with technology like these lime dosers and a good reservoir flood site preparation plan the effects of alkalinity could be lessened IMHO.

The more I read about Kyoto and the effects of fossil fuel upon our enviorment the less I'm convinced it is such a threat? I'm not totally convinced yet, and seeing as it is the only positive step in the works I won't be the one to protest against it until something better can be proven as a solution.
