DOE May Release 1300 Tons of Mercury

Chicago Tribune

While the country wrestles with Mercury emissions issues (Hg-ATME's very reason for existence) the Department of Energy may sell its stockpile of Mercury on the open market. This ironic twist of events is discussed in this article from the Chicago Tribune. To me it seems counter productive to sell this "captured" Mercury. You and I know it will only find its way into the environment somewhere, defeating the regulations our own government is pushing.
