The EPA decided its scientists were overstating the risks and gave Chevron the go-ahead to make the new boat fuel ingredient at its refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Poor Mississippi.

They are trying to save money by adding a solvent mixture refined from recycled plastic. But since the feedstock contains a wide variety of junk (called “UVCB substances" or “Substances of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials”) the resulting additive is a very complex mixture, including many untested and/or potentially toxic chemicals.
Black water, the sequel.
The actor playing the lead hasn’t even been born yet.
His mother will be from Mississippi and he will be born with two hearts, and be stillborn.
His mother will be charged with premurder.
it will be a kangaroo court, and a cautionary tale told to generations about the woman with no car who tried to sully the oil lords
The new version of lead.
This is a fuel additive that is expected to be used in boats or ships throughout the United States, as well as an airliners. So all airports, including the workers and passengers will also be exposed to this chemical.
Wait, this is outrageous. I need to know more about this. Do we know the names of these molecules?
It sounds like the EPA redacted their names and exact makeup in the consent order the reporters were able to obtain.
I think they don’t really know because the composition is based on whatever trash is recycled

They protect the environment, not humans dummy
Well, killing humans is good for the environment…
Captain Planet! He’s our hero! Gonna make human population zero!
Anyone have an idea of how much of this is “the EPA” versus vestiges of the virus that trump/pruit were as they purposefully broke agencies like this? How much of that poison remains in the org today?
I read the original, redacted, EPA document (well, skimmed it… there were 200 pages). There were no dates on that document. No dates were mentioned in the propublica article.
Who was the EPA director at the time? Wheeler?
