  1. @normjess @aral A simple but clear distinction can be made: you have the snake oil salesmen, those suckered by them and those who work for and profit from them! Projecting and gaslight their death cults, unless defeated will cost us all. #SnakeOilSalesmen

  2. Boy, #SanfordME seems to be the target of #Greenwashing #SnakeOilSalesmen! First an Amazon #Datacenter, now they want to truck all the #PFAS to a plant that may or may not work!

    [...]

    "Despite these assurances, the developer faces a high bar in proving its #gasification technology is ready for large-scale use. Aries acknowledged its facility in #LindenNJ, has been 'temporarily idled' for equipment upgrades [and it only functioned intermittently for a year before being closed!]. The company maintains that the issues were related to dryers rather than the core technology."
