Have you been living in a cave? You just discovered this? Bush has been
performing sexual (and legal/financial) favors for his chums in the utility
industry. He's given them a free pass to do absolutely nothing about
coal-burning power plants. As you said, some mercury releases occur
naturally, but some don't. Write to the pig in the White House and tell him
you're aware of his crimes. Then, vote correctly and send him back to his
so-called "ranch".

Mercury Is Everywhere
Mercury occurs naturally in the environment. According to FDA
toxicologist
Mike Bolger, Ph.D., approximately 2,700 to 6,000 tons of mercury are
released annually into the atmosphere naturally by degassing from the
Earth's crust and oceans. Another 2,000 to 3,000 tons are released
annually
into the atmosphere by human activities, primarily from burning household
and industrial wastes, and especially from fossil fuels such as coal.
