This is WHY you want the EPA...

does the EPA have a magic toxic cloud dispersing raygun that operates on tax dollars somewhere

The EPA has nothing to do with a damned fire.

How stupid is that Op?? Pretty damned stupid.

No, they have REGULATIONS imposed on chemical manufacturers of toxic substances, which has been curtailed over the last 2.5 years, you fucking douchebag.

The EPA is worthless. They don't even know what they impose much less how to solve disasters. The private companies solve the problems. The govt only causes problems and you worship the govt.

And the EPA is remedying this situation in what way?

Thoughtful and smart people say they don’t remedy the situation, they prevent it.

Safety regulations and clean air and clean water are expensive to corporations.

That’s why Republicans like danger, dirty air and dirty water.

Which is weird, because they don’t actually benefit from danger, dirty air and dirty water.

Go figure.

We found that a dirty state is the problem of every state that surrounds it.
It’s called leeching. Something Republicans do that they claim others are doing.

It really boggles the imagination, how the hell did humanity survive for thousands of years without Obama's EPA regulations?!

Look at this, CRICKETS from the cowardly Trumpanzees.

Pathetic bunch of sock puppets.

You still havent addressed Oddballs question. What has the EPA done to stop this fire? Why are you even mentioning them at all?

Don't know how many are aware of this fire, but it's out of control.

Eight tanks on fire and no way to put it out. More tanks could ignite.

The crime: Intercontinental Terminals is saying it's harmless. Levels are safe.

Anybody stupid enough to believe that shit?

This is why you need to have an EPA, because oil and gas corps are fucking criminals.

Hey Trump, you fucking asshole, THIS is is what an emergency looks like.

Yesterday, from the west side of Houston, the plume is heading west by northwest.

You have no idea what you are spouting. Regulations and insane political decisions for decades have kept us from building new facilities as needed and fully renovating older ones at acceptable costs. There have been other fires over this time.

California's wildfires release tons of harmful particulates every year to several states. If california managed their forests, this problem would be exponentially smaller. They dont manage their forests very well. California is a beautiful but a very dirty state.

and which of those were responsible for the fire?

Shit happens get over it

 

[jknowgood]

Um still waiting for the reason

The reason is they didn't take the right precautions to prevent the fire.

Yeah, because a business wants to burn down their lively hood. Your hatred for Trump is making you stupid.

We live southeast on the coast, so not in harm's way yet.
But if it rains in the area, it will drag all this shit out of the air and onto ground level.

Trump needs to get his sticky, pudgy fingers out of the EPA, find his wall money somewhere else, because this is going to make a lot of people sick, and Intercontinental Terminals needs to be fucking SUED by the EPA.

We’re praying for a wind shift in your direction.

The EPA has been in full operation since Nixon, yet this accident wasn't prevented.

That doesn't make the EPA "thoughtful and smart", it makes them worthless and impotent.

And your idiotic response to failure is to do more of it.

 

[BULLDOG]

lefties actually seem to believe company CEOs like it when their chemical plants explode and without the epa wouldn't take necessary precautions to prevent such occurrences...

With insurance, they sometimes make money from an event like that. Sometimes, it's cheaper to have a fire occasionally than it is to maintain all the precautions needed to prevent them.

They're going to risk going to prison for insurance fraud on a massive scale with potential manslaughter charges if a firefighter gets killed while guaranteeing horrible worldwide press. That makes sense.

Oil companies don't go to prison silly.

neither side of the aisle would let that happen.

Because it's cheaper for a tank or two to burn every once in a while than it is to prevent it.

That has to be the stupidest post of today.

I live in Houston It doesn't stink as bad here as it does at Border crossings. Crazy leftist Eco terrorists probably started this fire / or it was an equipment malfunction / Or President Trump in his all powerful position ordered it to give the Left something else to whine about! Skies are clear today in Houston! great for disaster watching!

So you’re fighting for dirty air and dirty water? Is that your goal, that things should be filthy?
