## Resource

The Liberty Bell Bay smelter is shutting down with no buyer in sight, raising alarms over who’ll pay the $200M cleanup bill. If the company liquidates, state authorities could step in — legally disclaiming the land and footing the bill. Meanwhile, soaring electricity costs from Hydro Tasmania derailed a potential sale, as buyers demanded steep subsidies. With no dedicated rehab fund, taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the site goes abandoned. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
