Last Remaining Lead Smelter In The USA Closing After 120 Years

[ROGER4314]

As a life long motorcycle rider, I have always bought and used black leather jackets, vests, coats, pants, etc. Ever notice how virtually all of that stuff comes from places like Pakistan? The leather tanning process is so environmentally nasty that hides are shipped to places like Pakistan to be prepared. As long as the hides are in country, the cutting and sewing processes are all done there, too.

EPA has been doing this kind of thing for a very long time.

Most all aluminum comes from Australia. This lead thing is bothersome in principle, not so much in application.

Lead from China.
What could possibly go wrong?
Fresh dug from Fukushima.

Is that why I can sell scrap batteries for $.30/lb?
