Here in California, the enviros are especially silient on this issue,
nowadays. Ironically, on many of these NGs many enviros previously
argued ferociously defending MTBE and demonized anyone who attempted to
postulate otherwise. They did so in the face of an onslaught of facts to
the contrary and even argued against objectice research in quest of the
truth. In their wake, they bought and paid off the legislature as so did
oil. Both used propaganda technics to skew facts.....

Finally the passage of SB521 by Senator Mountjoy (R), mandated objective
science testing of MTBE, not junk science as the enviros continued
touting....

Shame on the enviro propagandist and shame on greedy oil, and most of
all shame on the politicians who allowed their coffers to take
precedence over the health and welfare of all Californians. Now
California has over 10,000 (identified) contaminated underground sites.
Only God knows how many billions it will take to clean up their
lies.....
