Sort of like the auto industry back in the day. The fact you could light the Detroit River on fire is not a commentary on the evils of the car. If silicon tetrachloride acidifies soil so it is inhospitable for effective plant growth and causes severe irritation to living tissues and is highly toxic when ingested or inhaled, then here's a thought: Let's solve the problem by not putting it in the soil, not injest it and not inhale. Goddamn am I a genius.
