Florida and the illuminated epiphany

The 'benevolent' corporation has struck again. To the tune of 215 million gallons of radioactive water being released into the Florida aquifer.

The whine from conservatives is always "screw all those states that have strict environmental laws".

Yes well Florida sticks to this viewpoint, "come to Florida and leave your flashlight at home, you will glow in the dark".

No. But all will do what suits their bottom line and stockholders. They are not held to account by a vote of the people...so they must be held to account by those who are....via government regulations.

Corporations have responsibilities which accompany their rights. The government insures that both sides of the bargain are kept. When the operational end of government is defunded....either for budgetary reasons or bullshit partisan politics....shit doesn't get done and corporations do what comes naturally to them.

Get it?

Did you even read the article? The company itself found out about it and reported it, the state environmental agency even said they did. It's also not like this company did it on purpose, it was due to a sinkhole.

Looks like the environmental laws are working perfectly fine, unless you can think of a law that will magically predict sinkholes and every other natural occurrence that can cause problems like this.

No they aren't, but the idea that 'the private sector' is the best way to go just doesn't hold water as all those people are driven by enrichment of the self at the expense of others. The news is rife with these types of stories.

How exactly will Florida remove radiation from the aquifer? It can't be done. Every company in the country that uses or stores chemicals should be doing so in a fool proof way. I'm more than interested to see what happens now. Radioactivity is basically forever compared to a human time scale.

free enterprise capitalism is not zero sum, your lack of understanding basic econ is astounding

radioactivity is not forever, it is determined by half life of the isotope, you lack of understanding of science is also astounding

no, corporations generally obey the law, get it?

we would not need corporations were it not for the fact government sucks at just about everything, some of the largest environmental disasters are at the hands of government. Check out what the socialists did to the Aral sea

Ponderous as usual. "Radioactivity is basically forever compared to a human time scale." You didn't read that part or you just ignore the things that don't fit your sophomoric worldview scaffolding? You are more suited to the Flame Zone, I appreciate that you want to try to expand your horizons but if you can't participate in a discussion without your hyperbole then don't bother. You are just wasting time.

if you do not understand that radioactivity is dependent on the particular isotope, then you are hopelessly incompetent in that subject. Half lives are not all long on the human timescale, I could easily show that but it would be like swatting an intellectual fly like you

the leak was an accident due to a sinkhole, what kind of asshole blames that on economics?

4. Conclusions
The phosphate fertilizer plant produces large amount of waste in the form of liquid and solid effluents. The soil from the solid waste disposal area i.e. gypsum pond and the soil from the rock silo which is the phosphate rock storage area showed higher levels of natural radionuclides than other locations in the plant premises. The 238U levels in phosphogypsum sample were higher than those compared worldwide. The external gamma radiation survey didn't show any increased levels than the normal background except at gypsum pond and the rock silo area where the values though more than the background were not significantly high.
