Indiana Allows BP To Pollute Lake Michigan

Posted by kdawson on from the because-we-can dept.

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."

    in INDIA many companies pollute their local river. This should really be stopped, but generally its acceptable in some countries.

    Shut the fuck up and go back to eating garbage while watching the idiot box. And remember that according to your masters if you don't watch the commercials you're stealing.

    Unless you're an astroturfer. If you are, then kill yourself.
