    Although fracking liquid has always been my biggest target on the stupid list, what about the rest of the waste being hidden by corporations in every industry? All the hidden costs that should have been eating up there profits all along are coming home to roost.

    Yeah, back in the days when I lived in the US, I made a technology just to solve this shit. Regulations though allow you to dump tenorm waste for free, unless you try to clean it up, in which case you pay for “risks of cleanup”. You guys are doomed there, as was my attempt to run that thing.
