Does this mean that the cleanup will focus on dealing with "symptoms", instead of going after "sources" of pollution? If that's the case, it sounds like the Dept of Energy is more concerned with being a long-term employer, rather than lead agency of a "Clean up and go" operation. ^..^ Sat, 8 Nov 2008 21:41:24 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/34111829.html#IDComment10518386
