[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 922515, member: 694"] The problem HC is your hypocrisy every dollar made in the Golden Triangle or Houston Galveston Metroplex directly or indirectly comes from oil and gas or the space program that line mine and your pockets. Oh we don't have the one of them in more. Most of the pollution came from Jake leg's like you and I, drilling oil wells before the first refinery ever got there. Who ever could rake up enough money to drill was drilling then all over East Texas to the Gulf. This went on for fifty years, with WWII technology was starting to play a role in our live's. It was no different than the gold rush to California or Alaska. Oil from a new well drilled could run uncontrolled for week's. The first built refineries were simple stills manly after kerosene and straight run gasoline the rest of the barrel was dumped on the ground or in a ditch. This wasn't done to pollute we didn't know what in the world to do with it. We didn't even know what pollution was. With technology we have learned to recoup 100% of the barrel versus 15% when this all started. I guess we have Ford to blame as we get into our suburban's and super duty's to drive to Mc Donalds. Again I never stated that we did not need some regulation to operate the industry by as I stated in my first post. I am opposed to regulating us out of business and job's for American's. It wasn't just the EPA either we learned as a we went as a nation. To your Big Thicket question the Big Thicket doesn't exsist any longer as all but 86,000 acres have been already clear cut and replanted in pine plantation. Several million acres cleared to make paper to wipe our butt's. So if they want to clear cut it again I see no problem. It actually helps the wildlife and provides it with more food. The pine plantations as they mature reduce wildlife as there is little to eat in them. The Thicket was destroyed in the 70's and 80's after the EPA had came along, it apparently didn't bother them. The only subtropical rainforest in the country destroyed to make paper. Again we learned op's a tree is not a tree, we replaced North America's Ark with another forest that didn't work. So I guess we need to make them come back clear cut all the pine and replant with cedar oak, hickory, black walnut, black cherry, gum, cypress and so on. That train has left the station. The EPA destroyed the rest of the job's here as there was a sawmill in every town that they regulated out of business. I can cry about the thicket it is not coming back. I would like to see our mills come back for our communities, that is not happening either with the EPA's gestapo boot on our throat. [/QUOTE]
