Texas is different in what gets made, but we still do suffer air quality issues from them.
Companies use natural gas to create things here. They mine raw products from Florida, then ship it here to use the natural gas to make fertilizer. It creates a ton of bad shite. PVC...
It doesn't really matter, and I'm sure things are done more correctly now, but when Edwin created industrial jobs we all got fricked. The state stands more to gain than jobs and that's my point. If you created something here, you left something undesirable...you can't just walk away and leave the shite. I hope contracts are being written better this time around.
My family is from south of Lafayette, and say what you want about their lifestyle, but if you look at the cancer deaths on the family tree it is unreal.

I completely agree that more needs to be done to prevent health issues as a result of industry.

The EPA laws these refineries have to adhere to are a lot more stringent now than the 80's. Technology has also advanced to a point that things are cleaner and safer now. Not saying it's perfect but you're acting like things haven't evolved in nearly 20 years.

Speculation unless you have statistics from other states or areas that do not have large concentrations of refineries to compare it to.

This is bullshite. How many of them smoked drank and ate shitload of fried foods? You seriously can't be blaming their deaths on the industry that is keeping this state afloat (financially)
