Can we PLEASE quit all of the accusations, hasty bill-making, and so on? E! has been absolutely laden with drama over pollution. One person even declared this telling, "unplayable." Get a grip, and approach the problem logically, please. Do mines cause pollution? We don't know. Is there any evidence that mines cause pollution? None has been presented yet. Historically, it's not the MINES that cause pollution - it's the smelting of the ore that causes pollution. It stands to reason that processes that give off smoke (firepits, charcoal ovens, smelting pots, Raeli ovens, etc.) could possibly cause pollution.

For the people pointing fingers - you really need to test this before you start snarling at your neighbors. Take something that you think causes pollution, and isolate it - take it far out in the desert, where there's nothing else nearby, and do it. After a few days, you should have your answer - either it does pollute, or it doesn't. Going off half-cocked because of the state of areas around Chariot Stops does not help in any way. --Nekojin 12:42, 22 December 2008 (EST)

Mines appear to cause pollution, even without smelting. 80/100 tadpoles are dying in an area with one mine and no other facilities within 100 coords --Zerda 19:49, 22 December 2008 (EST)
