Some people can't seem to see the comparison between a state EPA making stupid decisions with poor science, or ignoring science and economics or even covering it up and perhaps the Federal EPA doing the same thing! THAT is the moral of the story.
Most decisions by bureaucrats SUCK!
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan - the most feared statement in the English language should be "I'm from the government and I'm here to help!"
The MTBE story is about suppression of science that doesn't fit your political agenda. It's about screwing the public because of a political agenda.
Also - the claims that Ethanol can harm engines (a similarity with MTBE) isn't something that's made up. It is why the manufacturers are saying it will void your warranties! Then there is the little bit about it is carbon neutral. BS! It takes more more energy to make it than you recover by using it in your car engine. If you don't accept those facts, then you have a promising career ahead of you as a bureaucrat!
