Anyways, I think maybe your trust of the manufacturing sector policing themselves for pollution etc. may be slightly justified, but I don't think that works at all in the O&G and mining sectors. Why do you think Trump is scrapping all the water protection acts? He's not doing it because he thinks the industries that are in positions to pollute them won't, because it's the right thing to do.

No doubt O&G and mining is an issue. But I will say this out of all the industries they are already the problem. They simply ignore regulations in these parts. Now they get to do so legally. The EPA stuff really isn't even the big thing for them...it's the elimination of the Chemical Safety Control board. Those are the guys that investigate the accidents and determine "fault".
