Texas tea is a mainstay of the economy so it’s not terribly surprising that a member of the southern ivies has some groups and alumni decrying oil refinery waste as a big issue. While reading the article try not to judge the people or political structures involved since a huge chunk of the population is tied to the price of oil. It’s a fool’s errand to try to convince everyday people of the dangers involved with an industry which pays their bills.
I wouldn't say it's a fools errand. I normally have a laugh sending my fools to get things that don't even exist like a dozen mouse eggs, or some quartz oil.
