[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 922617, member: 807"] CB no problem with I or anyone making a profit. The areas oil and chemical plants have operated around Houston have continue to grow. All with EPA oversight for the last 30 years. So I guess this means they can operate in a manner which is safe to us. As for wildcatters making the enviromental problems we had in our area at a earlier time, u are correct, BUT they on their small scale even if added together came nowhere close to causing the enviromental Super Fund sites in and around S.E. Texas. As for the Big Thicket, I think we should all fight to preserve whats left.. It doesnt need to be flooded to make more water for Houston and the Beaumont area.... All of the state needs to have some controls on water usage. Of course in large cities like Houston that will not happen because they have tied their taxes to the use of water... Restrictions in water use would cost them money. Last year during our epic drought, folks in Houston were still watering the heck out of those lawns and golf courses. Their is no sense in watering a lawn after its been established ,just makes a lazy lawn. Of course you and I know what happens to the excess runoff of the postage stamp yards that receive about 300# lbs of fertilizer. We also have people in the Hill Country trying to grow San Agustine grass...makes no sense. I at one time thought as you did, just let the good times roll, but as I have aged I have changed my mind... If their are no controls, our younger folks seem to go off deep end. That of course was taught to them by our generation and thats the shame of our generation. [/QUOTE]
