Desantis just signed a bill that could allow radioactive waste to be used in road construction. Evidently there isn't enough stone, gravel, or sand in the state to use for agregate in Florida's roads. Seems Desantis thinks that would be a good place to get rid of all that radio active phosphogypsum that has been piling up since th EPA started regulating it in 1989. More than 20 environmental groups urged him to not sign the bill, but he apparantly figured his supporters were more likely to prefer to stick it to the tree huggers and not worry about all the birth defects that amount of radioactivity might cause.

You do know that even stone and gravel can have a background radiation level right?

This is a study to see what the levels are from this material. Nothing more.

It's actually a form of recycling.
 
OMG, they are doing a study! Run for the hills!

How radioactive is it?

Hey dumbass, I know a little something about this, and if that stuff is spread out thin, it's not dangerous at all.

It's dangerous when it's all concentrated in one area and not spread out thin. (like it is right now)

So yeah, that's a good idea. It's more environmentally friendly to spread it out across miles and miles instead of concentrating it all

in one big toxic (radioactive) location. The stuff isn't U-235 in the 1st place, ok?

Sure. It's been banned from use since 89, but check it anyway. That radioactivty might have gone away by now.

what happened to all you leftist to make you so fucking stupid that you start screaming from a headline when the contents of the article are so much different of that headline??

Odd that no other state thinks spreading it out makes it safer. Here's part of what's known as the Pasadina Alps, a massive phosphogypsum storage faclity right out of Houston. phosphogypsum is too radioactive to be used in roads. That's why all the other attempts to get past EPA regulation have failed.

What kind and level of Radioactivity?

Banned by who and banned where?

If you are just going for a good ol Desantis smear, do some more homework, poseur.
Radioactive enough till the EPA banned it's use in 1989
