Thanks for posting. I did not see the original posting and this is very interesting.
Again, EPA fixes nothing. When the work goes to third world countries, the environment suffers exponentially.

If the environmentalists REALLY cared about the environment they would RELAX some of the U.S. regulations to promote industry, mining, oil production, etc. As you say - it is exponentially worse in places like China. (No environmental rules, no worker safety rules, etc.)
