Woohoo! Another extreme polluter bites the dust! Can't wait for a Detroit with vastly improved air quality from now on.

First the incinerator shutters, then zug island, now this. We should celebrate.

I'm sure the 343 workers getting the ax are planning a celebration at the unemployment office.

Last one out of Michigan, turn out the lights.

Yeah those 343 low paying jobs with terrible working conditions are totally worth the destruction of the environment and the illness/death caused by it to people living in the area. 343 jobs is nothing in the grand scheme of things, metro Detroit can create that many new jobs in a week...
