Ironic, considering the coal burning plants in Michigan, right across the river from Lambton GS, are much dirtier, and all the pollution blows into Ontario.
As for all the chemical plants, although some have been dismantled, most of them will be with us for a long time because it's nearly impossible to get new ones built in populated areas
