This sludge was actually tested and analyzed- it’s not compatible with marine life and would in fact cause an ecological disaster. It’s why they’re mixing it with peat moss and also why they’re doing the work now - the factory itself has been battered by waves and the vats are in danger of being washed into the sea.

And this can't be solved by dilution?

Do you really think the super basic idea of diluting it wasn't considered by anyone involved? Why are you so hung up on this?

		Someone bounced from "let's dump 40 vats at once" to "we can't allow even a slow leak". No, I don't think we're seeing rigorous scientific competence.

It's not like we humans have any aversion to killing individual wildlife, as long as the ecosystem is okay.
