It's the only thing that makes sense. There has to be a reason to shut the place down and not sell. If they sold they would have to clean up.

Yes. And I don't think that Shell, or CA, or the feds should waste the stockholders or taxpayers dollars on the clean up. The environmentalists can clean up the MTBE mess. They caused it with their "posited law" view of progress. Now natural law is imposing its ultimate legal authority.

Environmentalism pollutes the future.
