Under Cover of Darkness

The Alcoa Wenatchee Works in Eastern Washington State was "taken behind the woodshed" last year for dumping too many pollutants into the Columbia River. www.ecy.wa.gov/news/2015/103.html

 

By the end of the year, the people running the Alcoa smelter suddenly decided to idle (shut down) the plant because it was "losing money due to low aluminum demand worldwide."

This will be a huge blow to the local economy, but hey, that's the way it goes...
