The most ironic finding? Those advanced cleanup technologies pose environmental problems of their own. Carbon dioxide output would increase — a rather problematic issue given the Inslee Administration’s emphasis on greenhouse-gas reduction. That’s because electricity use would increase two to four times, because of increased pumping and other requirements of the advanced filtration systems; CO2 impact would more than double. Other impacts would include increases in sewage sludge disposal, more truck traffic, more chemical usage, and increased need for land. - washingtonstatewire.com
