the EPA *****..........

So, here is a case of the EPA fining refineries for not mixing enough bio fuels into their petrol products, YET there is not enough of the products to EVEN be in compliance with the EPA.......yea, that is RIGHT.

We're fining you because you're not in compliance with the law, but it doesn't matter that there is NO WAY for you to be in compliance.

WONDERFUL.......

Hey Geo, those links you post to the Blaze? In order to follow them, you have to sign up for Glenn Beck's mailing list. You can't opt out of registering and read what you're trying to show us. Even if it weren't someone in need of a straitjacket, I wouldn't be willing to do that.

Glenn Beck? Seriously? The man needs medication.

George, I am torn on the issue of the EPA. I think some of their regulations are flat out ridiculous. That being said, I believe the EPA is a necessary evil that has done a lot of good over the years. There is no doubt in my mind that many of these companies could care less about water and air quality, they are only concerned with one thing and that is profit margin and nothing else. Heck you see it all the timne where companies do what they want until the are finally forced to stop, despite breaing the law. It is easier for them to pay the fines and pass it on to the consumer rather than do things the right way in the first place. I don't want to see the EPA be dismantled, but I would like to see them tweaked a bit.

Some of these bio fuel additives were blocked from coming into t6his country by the oil industry.Also the ad comglomerates had a hand init. Brasil makes a lot of alcohol based fuel additives, but they cant bring them here. BUT we can and do shio refined fuel to these south american countys.While I'm in favor of the canadian pipe line, its being pushed by the special interests to the refinerys in the gulf, so they can EXPORT refined product, at americans expense.
