Then they clearly were not the most creative evil geniuses.

Reply to comment by Huntguy in US Emissions of the World’s Most Potent Greenhouse Gas Are 56 Percent Higher Than EPA Estimates. Electric utilities are likely responsible for the nation’s higher than expected emissions of sulfur hexafluoride, a greenhouse gas 25,000 times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide. by Wagamaga

Not necessarily. It is something to consider and address in conjunction with other emission reduction acts. This is also a good time to do it since the push towards EVs will require substantial expansion of the electrical grid. Currently only about 1% of the cars on the road are EV. As that number increases, so will the grid and use of SF6. So why not address that now and avoid having to rework the electrical grid later when it is a much bigger problem? Tackling just one aspect of the greenhouse gas issue is not enough. Per the EPA, vehicle emissions account for only 27% of greenhouse gasses so there are a lot of other areas to improve too.

Reply to comment by RickySlayer9 in Black and Hispanic hairdressers are exposed to a complex mixture of chemicals, many of them unknown, potentially hazardous, and undisclosed on product labels, researchers report. There are more than 700,000 hairdressers in the United States, more than 90% of whom are estimated to be women. by MistWeaver80

They didn’t sample white or asian hairdressers and then throw out headlines to play the racial angle to feed on inequality outrage and draw in reader when there isn’t even a basis to quantify that this is impacting any particular race disproportionately.

What the article concludes is that black and hispanic hairdressers show to have more chemicals in their system than people of color working in office jobs. It is about profession and not race. The implication that it disproportionately impacting people of color was an unsupported assumption.
