Newsweek Ranks Intel as Green?!?

To: Newsweek Dear Editor,   Intel a "Green" Company? (Newsweek, 10-25-2010). Newsweek has swallowed pap issued by Intel's PR department. A 727-page report of an EPA Clean Air Act Investigation released to the public last week, is a scathing indictment of Intel and its state regulators. The company underreports or fails to report emissions of highly toxic air pollutants, including hydrogen fluoride, ethyl lactate, crystalline silica, possibly carbon tetrachloride, and other carcinogens.   In the interests of journalistic accuracy, Newsweek should withdraw this unmerited award.   Sincerely, Martha Egan

Intel & the EPA

To: The Albuquerque Journal

Dear Editors,

 

Far be it for me to tell you how to run your newspaper, but does The Albuquerque Journal really have nothing to say about  the National Enforcement Investigation Center/EPA's 727-page scathing indictment of Intel's Rio Rancho plant's air pollution and NMED's failure to regulate the company?

 

See the following from a small newspaper, The Rio Rancho Observer, in Intel's own company town. SOMEBODY is paying attention to an issue that impacts the entire Albuquerque metropolitan area.

 

Sincerely,

 

Martha Egan
