On one side, much like how the petro companies applauded the new stricter EPA regulations on gas stations holding tanks, which in effect closed down tens of thousands of independently owned gas stations in this country allowing the major players to consolidate the industry, the chemical industry major players are working on a similar strategy through regulatory barriers.

On the other hand, there are areas of NJ where 5,000 people could be killed and 50,000 injured in the matter of hours if certain chemical plants were blown up. Plants currently secured by a chain link fence and a deadbolt lock on the door.

There's going to be good money made for consultants in security and pollution control industry off this.
