Should land owners be responsible?

[Dr. Gonzo]

MAC, since when do people who buy a product assume the liabilities of the person that makes it? I can't think of any examples where that is the case.

Dg I was being sarcastic. Legally of course they don't but in reality our desire for cheap plentiful energy often puts us in conflict with the environment

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

I get it from a moral standpoint. I just missed the sarcasm

Not on the original point, but yours...You own a car. You weigh the benefits and the risks. Your vehicle, when used the way it is intended spews various toxins into the air. This causes people sickness and death. Are you responsible for damages?

I hire a surgeon to take my kid's tonsils out. He takes his gall bladder out. Am I responsible for damages to my kid? Does my kid sue me?

This is what mal practice insurance is for, right?

closer?:
You own a house that you rent. Your tenant takes care of the lawn. He spreads a pesticide that kills the neighbors cat. Are you the responsible one?

We need a lawyer... because I'm not one...

is that what happened to my boo boo kitty? u sons of bitches

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson says states doing a good job. “States are stepping up and doing a good job. It doesn’t have to be EPA that regulates the 10,000 wells that might go in.” (Politco, 11/22/12)

Kinda sums it up!

Lisa Jackson, the poster child for a very successful incompetent, who is also the poster child for bad affirmative action hires.

Lisa Jaxkson is no advocate of fossil fuels.

You're looking at it wrong.
Look at it through the lens of a sorta backwards RICO Act situation.
These gas purchasers are part of an organized environmental crime syndicate. They're TELLING Exxon/Mobil to keep drilling and frackin' by their purchasing of the gas...

You are a driller posting Industry literature. It is oblivious what side you would be on. The propaganda paper says nothing about the contamination in North Dakota.

The media may be bias but the quote is from Jackson, no propaganda there just her words. So I have to ask the question how is her quote industrial literaure just because Politco quoted her to support their position?
