Indiana Allows BP To Pollute Lake Michigan

An anonymous reader writes "Indiana regulators exempted BP from state environmental laws to clear the way for a $3.8 billion expansion that will allow the company to refine heavier Canadian crude oil. They justified the move in part by noting the project will create 80 new jobs. The company will now be allowed to dump an average of 1,584 pounds of ammonia and 4,925 pounds of sludge into Lake Michigan every day."

    Eli Lilly is evil which is why i dumped their stock, fuck them twice. most republicans here just vote a straight ballot every time, how do i know? because my father is one and i was a pollster for him as a kid.

    the world i live in is a steaming pile of shit thanks to teh greed you support with your votes, *internet* but since you;re a woman you're already wrong */internet*

    first off, i have lived in cincinnati which is actually the dirtiest place i've ever been but since it was only for 2 years i don't count it, as for the rest i'm an avid, voracious reader both online and off and i talk to plenty of people worldwide, i'm not a fox-news dittohead

    try working a shit-stain low wage job without insurance constantly being harassed by the cops for being poor and maybe you'd be a prick too (fuck you).
