Phytoremediation article

I knew other parts of work were dealing with the selenium eating mustard plants. This article has some more information about that and other efforts. I am disappointed that the Sierra Club has come out in opposition to the use of genengineered plants for environmental clean up. I understand their concerns, but it seems like - just like with their whole nuclear stance - a knee-jerk reaction to a technology. Rather than dialog and work together to make sure that their concerns are taken into account, they're in a whole scorched earth policy stance instead. *sighs*
