One more time: Formosa OWNED JM Eagle at the time the bad pipe was being manufactured.

I see. The business geniuses at Formosa just innocently owned a crooked company.
If you want to shill for Indonesian mobsters then be my guest.

Louisiana economy is taking lots of hits from the fall in oil pricesFlooding the market almost already saturated with ethylene is going to help matters? Especially a foreign one, with past questionable business practices? I hope it gets shot down.

For those interested, Formosa Plastics Group is a Taiwanese company, not Indonesian. Internationally they have over 100,000 employees. It started in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1954 and remains headquartered in Taiwan.
The USA division (Formosa Plastics) has 2,400 employees with fatalities in New Jersey, Louisiana and Texas.

Making more cheaper manufacturing feedstocks is good for the US economy. More jobs, less cost of products.
Are you really complaining that another ethane cracker is being built in the US Gulf Coast?

There are several other planned crackers by “US” companies who tend to have better SHE records. I have first hand comments from others (overheard at trade shows) about what these guys were all about in the ‘90’s. Retired, but was industry for 30 years, and hate to see foreign circumventers get a leg up on our people.

I don’t see them getting a leg up.
I see them coming in on the tail end of billions of dollars in many other plants farther along.
I’ll accept without debate your concern about the company. But do you really see it a problem for our concerns of yet another ethane cracker being built?

I want to understand this comment which did not seem to pertain to the specific company.
Flooding the market almost already saturated with ethylene is going to help matters?

Yeah, I’ve learned to not trust spell check for anything really important.
It is really has to be correct, I let my wife read it. She is great at finding my mistakes. (she used to be the last check for their corporation SEC filings, annual report, etc)
