LOL almost as important as a few words changed by your movement, like from Global 'WARMING' to the all encompassing 'Climate Change', which covers Warming, Cooling, Storms, The lack of them, Monsoons, and droughts.
Yes a play on words does seem to be very important to you guys.

They also introduced methyl tertiary butyl ether(MTBE) as a gasoline additive as well, that has polluted our shallow aquifers for 20 years now. Though it has been very good to the environmental consulting industry, unintended consequences can be devastating. Ethanol is another example, it takes more energy to make than it generates and causes basic staple shortages in third world countries.

Actually, you got negged because yet again, you peg every problem on "libs." I suppose you think that we should have kept the leaded gasoline?
And not all "libs" support ethanol as a cure all. Many of the ethanol supporters are large ag corps and farmers.

Ah yes, because someone libs in california pushed MTBE (I'll take your source at it's word because a quick search doesn't find anything other than your conservative rag)
And I remember republicans and oil companies throwing fits as governments banned it several years ago.
Why don't we just get rid of all environmental regulations....go back to the days of burning rivers and just buy a bunch of face masks to "protect" us from the massive air pollution.
MTBE was a bad idea, as is ethanol, lots of people many (most) of them the "libs" that you deride have been saying that for years.=

No, I'm saying yes, there may have been some "libs" involved in pushing MTBE, however they weren't the only ones. You can keep on spinning all you want but to put all the blame on one side....

I haven't missed any thing, I don't neg you when I read something positive you've said, then I pos you or just skip over if I think it is dumb.
It is your attitude of name calling and labeling libs, dems or the likes as bad. You are equally as bad as the other Repub shillers when you stoop to that low. No where was this a political party issue until DL and you piped in slamming the Libs.

""You are equally as bad as the other Repub shillers when you stoop to that low.""
Hey Double EE you know you're right I do think the liberal attitude that Dems support is abad, just as you state you feel the same way about us on the right,,,,, but somehow when you do it on the left, it's ok,,, yeah I've seen some of the things youve posted about the right in my time here,,,,,

MTBE was fist introduced by the petrochemical industry as a means of eliminating lead from gas (a good idea). In the 1990s, the petrochemical industry found that MTBE in higer concentrations reduces air pollution, thereby allowing them to meet clean air standards at low cost.
The problem with MTBE arises from sloppy handling.

Lead removal and reduction in air pollution was mandated, thus we now have the MTBE problem.
The thing about MTBE is that it travels so quickly, ahead of any plume from a release, such as from underground storage tanks at a local gas station, or over-filling a tank. MTBE is always a precursor we evaluate from analytical results of samples collected during groundwater monitoring events, to help us delineate said hydrocarbon plume. MTBE can show up in samples, a few years before other hydrocarbons, such as , Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene do.

Thank you for your more reasoned reply.
As you say, MTBE is more of a warning of potential problems from substandard storage tanks, most of which are CORPORATE controlled.
Please, in the future stop the "blame the environmentalist" rhetoric.

hehehe of course you twisted what I wrote to blame Big Corporation! Do you work for Big Liberalism or something?
What I said is exactly what I wrote, MTBE a pollutant that is an additive, which moves faster than even the other analytes that make up gasoline.

As far as the USTs go, they have been replacing steel USTs with fiberglass tanks (the newest technology) since the 1990s, the steel rusts and leaks, they weren't some ploy to use sub-standard materials by Big Corporations, that is simply a falsehood. Steel was what was available until the fiberglass was able to be used. Fiberglass is far from perfect either, it's very brittle. I've supervised the removal of both steel and fiberglass tanks. You have to be extra careful when you clean a FRP tank, prior to removal, because they tend to fall apart as you remove them from the tank pit. This and other environmental topics is something I'm fairly well versed in, I'm not the one to try and make false statements to as it pertains to this subject.

"Big Liberalism", as far as I know, does not own any gas storage tanks that leak, releasing MTBE into the water. I did not say that there was any ploy to use substandard materials. I only made the obvious comment that MTBE is released via tanks that leak. Anybody (or corporation) that stores toxic chemicals has a responsability to make sure that their tanks don't leak.
I agreed with you about the solubility of MTBE and its rate of movement.

Or Bush claiming he can successfully run the country.
Hey I know words are important, but what absolutes are there in the world?
You get in a car accident not wearing a seat belt, it's a 'possibility' you get hurt. You smoke, you 'may' get cancer, you break a law, you 'might' go to jail.
Name a person who claims Al Gore is a scientist? some of you people, probably the same ones who claim Al said he invented the internet. Personally I think AG is a hypocrite, doesn't make the message of climate change any less true. AG is nothing but a messenger, somewhat of an educated one, and at times a bit 'off' it's not him that the scientists are listening to, don't you think it would be wise to listen to the scientists? but as soon as you hear the term global warming, your ears just snap shut and your mouth opens up.
Just because some share some liberal views doesn't mean you agree 100% with every other liberal on every issue. Come on...nobody is 100% liberal or 100% conservative.

With Reps being in power for over 25 years, why is every thing a libs fault.
As a Gov.of Texas for some years and then 8 years as a Pres and still Texas has a immigration problem ?
Dependence on oil ? with Reps still in charge, but libs fault?
All the woes of USA are libs fault, and Reps who have had the power never address them, or even tried to?
Now that to me is refusal to look at both sides, and to me there is very little differences in either, self serving demi-gods who don't give a damn.
Is Obama the same? well he does have some differences from what has been offered in the past, and how good he will be is a question that only time can answer, or does USA stay the course, so gas will be $5 a gal, and double the present debt, while China sits back and laughs

As you well know, Damnliberals, the corn-to-ethanol fiasco is promoted by a combination of BIG argibusiness and the ethanol lobby (led by Archer Daniels Midland Corp). The main proponents are Congress people from the corn belt.
Environmental organizations such as the Audubon society and the Sierra Club are opposed to the corn-to-ethanol program.

That change was made so simple minds can understand the term and all it covers. The word 'warming' did not just mean higher temps. Besides that, you really can't use a term as fact until after the fact,people with the wait and see attitude...despite what many scientists say ( and forget about Al G.) well....who has a perfect word for that?
Is it a play on words when there are warnings about different chemicals, viruses, bacterias, every day risks people take when they use the words 'may, possibly, probable,might etc..?
