Thank God the fossil fuel industry is so righteous!

“hydrogen flouride” AKA hydroflouric acid… nasty stuff, eats glass you know.

Government interventionists insist the free market, if left unchecked, endangers individuals and our planet.
Exxon Valdez, BP’s Deepwater Horizon, Shell’s wandering oil rig, Exxon’s spill in Mayflower… Clean air regulations, OSHA, preventing companies from dumping or burning toxic materials into our water and air…
Let’s consider Deepwater Horizon. How long did the boycotts last, and how widespread were they? How hard did BP fight paying for damages to various people and businesses? How ineffective was their cleanup effort? How hard did they try to pretend that it’s all gone away, despite the vast number of people who are still finding pollution today because of it?
No, you’re right. The free market would never endanger the environment and/or human health. If only government didn’t interfere! Gawd!
The EPA is suffering pretty heavily right now from a bad episode of not doing its job. Doing a piss poor job and being corrupt might be pretty bad, but a complete absence of such an agency is even worse. If all the EPA is doing is giving incentives to use the product, who cares? Let the industry reject it for the stated reasons, and if the EPA wants to force it, it’ll go to court and will likely be cut down.
Bill Wilson should go to China, where the government doesn’t give two shits about the environment, even though the people themselves do as they breathe in toxic smog and can’t swim in their poisoned rivers. Wow, look at how the “free market” works! Companies are given free reign over whether or not they want to pollute and the people can choose to not work there or buy stuff from them or get service from them if they want! It’s not like Olympians from countries with interfering government agencies had to train outside of Beijing just to adjust to the smog and not be overpowered by it, right? Yeah, fuck the EPA!
And when all their toxic cheap-ass shit gets shipped over to America and is sold in Walmart across the country, people turn their noses up at it because they don’t want to be exposed to all manners of toxic chemicals, shoddy and unsafe construction, and generally crappy goods, right? Right? …Right?
It absolutely astonishes me that people believe this kind of shit. Companies like Monsanto buy their way out of being punished by government for a reason, because being able to get away with virtually anything kicks ass (if you’re a shareholder). Meat processing companies love having people arrested for filming cruel treatment of animals so they don’t have to give a fuck and save a few bucks, and they like not having so many USDA inspectors around (or being allowed to self-“regulate”) so they get away with more shit. Remember the video I posted about glued together chunks of crappy meat to be sold as “premium cuts?” That’s what the free market is capable of when it is unrestrained.
The free market isn’t evil, it is indifferent, and those who are blind to its indifference to extremely negative shit for society are fools.
Can anyone explain why the GOP is concerned about leaving the next generation with massive debt, when they would leave them with a toxic environment and uneducated?
Smirks I gladly issue you a variance on the 4 sentence rule. Good job.
While you are looking at the flashy shiny object, those of us that are EPA and the Coast guard oil and water responders were sidelined for 6 months by order of DC and Obama. NOT until the oil hit land and the states began billing EPA Hqtrs for cleanup, did O step up and order the response. SIX MONTHS we waited. SIX MONTHS the disaster became what it was when only a drop of oil in water is grounds for our response. Thank you O.
Now, more oil is released than was before all the rigs were shut down. Hurrah!! But we shut the rigs down. Ooops, better open that one out there back up, quietly says EPA. Our Taiwanese friend will make sure the natural excape of hydrocarbons will be stopped.
While you eagerly look the other way and chase the flavor fad du jour, the EPA has been politicized for cronies. There is no science, only pay offs. Anyone one of us that stands up is silenced. Our research is modified, altered or buried.
Some of us spent 40 yrs and our entire careers taking mercury and lead out of the environment,…all shot in one day “because its the right thing and feels good”.
And here, now, you have HFO staring at you in the face and you blame who? The corporations? LOLOL

Man, you cats see what a filthy mess our country was in 1970? Looks like we’ll need a redo if shit like this keeps up.

Ammonia and sulfur dioxide also work fine as refrigerants, as does butane or ethane I believe. Common sense about safety removed these from consideration for use in occupied vehicles and (nonindustrial) buildings long ago.
If this new stuff gets approved for most cars, how long will it be before it is forced on (into) our home refrigerators and window air conditioners (it might be OK for the outside ones).

Hey Bill can you name the other flammable liquid used in automobiles? That’s right. Gasoline. Autos are propelled by using a flammable liquid known as gasoline. About a hundred times more than the required volume of freon. So Bill this is why we thinking people ask you to put out that fucking cigarette before you fuel up. Wouldn’t want you to burn your ass to a frazzle before the lung cancer kills your ass.

So, the next time you have a car crash, thanks to the epa, you can now more easily burn, then be poisoned?
The substance burst into flames as soon as it made contact.
Not only that, as it burned it emitted hydrogen fluoride, “a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide.
Nope…nothing to see here.
