Environmental BS rant...grrrrr

And that mitigates the "carbon problem" how?

I didnt say anything about mitigating the problem at all.

If any asphalt gets spilled on the ground or concrete floor inside the fence of an asphalt plant it is considered hazardous waste and must be treated as such.
This is the same asphalt that is put on the ground and driven over. I’d bet money the parking lot of most EPA buildings are paved with asphalt.

We need to go back to the days before the EPA, OSHA, NLRB and all these damned agencies that keep our water clean and our workplaces safe. Hell, back in the old days you could dump heavy metal waste right in the Tennessee River without consequence, work seven days a week, and if you got hurt and couldn't work it was just your tough luck.

Careful what you wish for, gentlemen.

Want to know the environmental issue with Cement and Concrete? It releases that evil gas CO2 when curing, this is why we cannot have nice things:

By the way, that last post regarding CO2 was sarcastic. It is the gas of life! No CO2, no plants, no animals, no life on earth.

This reminds me of something that happened with my brother a while back. He had some guys clear out part of his land and put up a new fence. While doing so, they came across a bunch of abandoned pipe. They took three loads to the scrap yard and the last load was the only one to set off the Geiger counter. So my brother called DEQ and asked what he should do with the radioactive pipe. They told him to dig a hole and bury it.

Probably from petroleum scale... it has a lot of radium and radium decay products. Some of it can be pretty "hot."

Considering it is in Seminole County that is most likely the case. I figured it came from deep down and it can probably go right back there.

That is what the articles were about in nearly every case.

Lots of building materials are full of stuff you don't want to ingest. None of that has to do with all the green global warming bs being pushed.

There is a happy medium. We are way far off the scale to the left.
