>> Sooner or later it's going to catch up to all of us big time.

IF we are EXTREMEMLY fortunate, it will not catch up to us in the form of a Chinese ICBM. And that is a truly humongous "IF".

This is rotten. And I'm glad to be hearing Clark Foam owner telling his story. I only wish it would get MORE attention.

I had a good buddy who ran an idustrial chrome shop, primarily serving the transit (bus) and heavy duty (class 8 truck) industries. IDEM (Indiana environmental management) fined and threatened to close his shop because of the release of ammonia in his waste gases. They stated that the waste stream was safe to breath, but was above state standards. We walked out the front door of his shop and pointed to a farmer that was knifing (applying) raw ammonia to his field across the street from his operation.
Common sense is a rare commodity with these people.

Clark said that he has run afoul of local, state and federal fire and environmental agencies for releasing chemicals into the air, including toluene diisocyanate, a carcinogen, and more than two tons of styrene fumes per year.

That's bad stuff all-righty, and while Mr. Clark is responsible, he is not solely responsible.

The real problem is that systems capable of controlling 90% of the fumes are cheap, while those abating 100% are hideously expensive.

Guess which system the bureaucrats want?

So for years, Mr. Clark goes on poisoning his workers unnecessarily while fighting to stay alive. That's just one aspect of what's wrong with government control systems.

California supplies a LOT more federal revenue than it receives in return.

Conservative Surfer here...

How ironic for all the environmental wackos on the left coast in the surfing community? State laws and EPA shutting down the main supplier in the world for surfboard blanks.

On the other hand a friend of mine has a startup business manufacturing S-Foam blanks and his phone has been ringing off the wall today.
