How long did you trust the Minnesota Department of Health when it came to the PFAS discharges from the 3M plants? Decades? Do you still trust them?

How long did you trust the Minnesota Department of Health when it came to the PFAS discharges from the 3M plants? Decades? Do you still trust them?
- karlshea 4y agoStill trust them more than random people on HN! Xcel reported it when it happened to the state—which they didn't even have to do given how low-concentration it was[0]—the NRC published that it happened on their website in November so it wasn't a "secret"[1], the levels are being monitored from wells, and the plume didn't travel far enough to affect anyone. Now they're pumping out and filtering the water to remove it. What are you trying to get at here? What is the outcome you wanted? If this is some sort of anti-nuke power plant take based on an unfortunate but basically non-event then just say so and I'll excuse myself from replying any further.
