Good. I had heard about this little break for the energy companies, and I didn't appreciate very much personally. Glad to see it go. So the government requires environmental additives in gas, like MTBE, but you want oil companies to take the legal hit for it.
Sounds like the greenpeas plan to me. Anti-corporate. Anti-oil. Guaranteed to raise gas prices.
Thanks loads.

You want to take the hit for them? Lunatic! The day the oil companies start covering my liabilties, I'll start covering theirs. What a sucker.

The Feds allowed refiners to chose which oxygenate to use. Some picked MTBE. I believe California mandated MTBE.
The refines shouldn't get off scott-free, but they should have to eat the whole enchilada either.
