Hope the rest of your tale is more valid than your (evident) chemistry commentary.
There is no apparent connection between Enron and MTBE. It needed no "future manager", it had been developed and patented by Union Oil of California and was approved by the state of California -- which preceded the U.S. in setting air quality standards.
Nor did the cited "VOC + NO" have anything to do with MTBE's demise as an approved oxygenate. Instead, it was the leakage of trace amounts of MTBE into the environment -- lakes, groundwater, etc.
In other words, you've posted what amounts to a Conspiracy Theory -- designed to be a hit piece on Phil Gramm.
But that's your right...
I count 41 responses to your post.
And it's unanimous. Every last one of them recognizes your post as a gigantic steaming pile of crap. Most cite actual knowledge -- much of it via personal experience -- to directly contradict your author's scurrilous points.
Obviously, you need to restrict your posts to dumber (liberal) websites.
Don’t follow Cali politics that much, but you could be right.
At last report there were 10,000 private wells contaminated in CA with MTBE.
In my then-home town there were a number of reports of illness that were linked to MTBE usage, which was at first confined to winter time. The affected folks were eventually forced to move to AZ?, or somewhere where MTBE wasn’t used.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Next time you troll? Don’t waste so much space.
Are you stupid, or just an ignoramus?
Holy mackeral.

Thanks for the ping, Dangerous One! This guy is really working on a warp, no?
Dumba$$!
“Hairy” Reid indeed!
You’re close enough to Them now to have to watch yourself. They’re ruthless and soulless - Dick Cheney sucking the brains out of that lawyer he backshot, for example - did you ever see that reported in the MSM? Of course you didn’t. Gobbled that sucker’s cerebral cortex like lime jello at a Baptist picnic with Brokaw standing right there and he looks up with the guy’s head behind him, poking his medulla oblongata back into place and he sez, he sez “Wassup, Tom? Got any MTBE...I mean, MSG?” It was the Chinese connection all along, that time Cheney spent in a PRC concentration camp with happy juice injected into every artery, vein, lymph vessel, see, that’s where he got the taste for MSG, which is an additive that doesn’t fill you up and it tastes great, and if that isn’t a Commie plot I’ve never seen one - you ever notice that your choice without it always comes down to tastes great OR less filling but you can’t have both? Now why is that? Tastes great OR less filling. It’s almost like the Government doesn’t want us to be happy with our beer. Or our gasoline. Or our chow mein either. You fill up on any of them and without MTBE you’re gonna have to fill up again an hour later. It ain’t natural. Pure communism. Did you know they eat dogs there too? Only not for the Olympics.
You’al been ZOTTED! Ge your sorry butt back to The Daily Kuck you sicko. Are you actually Alan Colmes?
Bye, Troll... :)
