On Friday, Barton proposed a $11.4 billion cleanup fund for MTBE, a third of which would be paid for by the oil industry, including MTBE manufacturers, refiners and corner gasoline stations owners.Oh, that sounds sooo good... Let's force the evil oil industry to pay for part of this.
Hey Barton, ya think we're stupid or something? 1/3 of $11,400,000,000 is $3,800,000,000. Where do you think the oil industry is gonna get their share? From the same place the rest of the $11,400,000 is gonna come from... my pocket!
