Hope that happens. Keep us informed, Chuck. And thanks
for your updates--this has been a very sad and interesting
event to follow.
I suspects fines are just a slap on the wrist for many of
these multi-million or billion dollar corporations. They'll
just keep on paying and keep on polluting. But if I may
offer a solution, particularly in the case of manufacturing
companies and wastewater treatment plants: the CEOs of these
companies should be subject to random water tastings by law.
That's right. They need to drink a glass of whatever they
discharge. That should clean up our coastal waters, lakes,
rivers, and streams quite nicely.
