Emissions and smart pigs

Banjo Jones tells us about a little something that should upset both PETA and Dina Cappiello:

Dow Chemical, in its continuing efforts to protect the environment, intentionally released 194 lbs. of nitric oxide and 194 lbs. of nitric dioxide a couple days ago from one of its pipelines.

This was done as a prelude to setting "pig traps" so that "smart pigs" can inspect the line for leaks and such as that.

The rest is here.

Pigs -- more than just tasty bacon!
