^^"Yikes! That is some scary stuff (Benzene). "
Gawd. I am a pretty damn green person and can see right through this "media-problem-de-jour" benzene. Give me a frigging break, like any stupid trial/murder case, somehow the media has latched onto the latest bogey-man --benzene--. It is simple, benzene is a fact of combustion. You want to eat? Go to work? Fly off to Hawaii? Then you are going to burn something, and *sirens going off* you are burning a carbon based fuel. And when you do that, you get ozone, smog, CO2 and other things LIKE BENZENE. Please be realistic, one day we will be off this stuff, but for now, our economy depends on it. I don't like it, but I am realistic, drive a 40 mpg car, signed up for green energy, and so on--consistently, all my life, but the system is the system. Portland is leagues ahead of the rest of the country, but we still depend on carbon fuels *for our lives* to put it bluntly. That is the age we live in.
