Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The historical context shows that rising demand for zinc, which was used in brass for weapons and ammunition, drove production in the Rush Mountain area between 1911 and 1918. The town of Batesville is also home to a low-carbon biodiesel production facility operated by FutureFuel.
