[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 922091, member: 807"] Cant believe I am gonna take the EPA's side in a discussion, but here goes. Is it out of control yes, is it still needed yes. Does anyone really believe corporate America is gonna police their actions. case in point BP....not only have they been playing fast and loose in Texas City refinery, but does anyone remember a rather large oil spill... When a corporation gets out of control, the only people to make a difference in their way of thinking is the EPA.. Caustic has fished some of the very same waters I have in the Galveston bay complex. Much of this water was so fowl in the 50's and 60's it was unfishable...some still is...As a kid living south of the Humble refinery we would get crap dumped on us from the flares..4 or 5 times a week. Go look at current oil exploration or gas site...if the well isnt brought in, in most cases within a year the land looks as it did before the drilling,,,or better. Of course I can show you sites in Liberty county and Chambers county that were explored in the 50' and 60's and these drill sites still look like a blight on the land! Is the EPA out of control, sure it is, because its ran by political hacks from both parties....As far the EPA putting all of the company"s out of business.... BS :bs: :bs: The inability or will to enforce Anti-Trust Laws has leads us to this lean mean corporate America. If anyone doubts that, lets look at the example Of TMobile and AT&T.
