jimpricehunter Veteran Author Dallas Posts:269 Points:162,525 Joined:Aug 2012	Message Posted: Oct 10, 2012 10:31:11 AM Ignore jimpricehunter Report Abuse Well this may sound good, but the loss and the damage is still rediculous. We are well technologically advanced that a spill of 500 gallons and several hours gone undetected is rediculous! It is very possible to be prepared in advance for troubles like this and shut down operations so quickly that there is almost no loss. What hinders such solutions from being put into use and practiced? Well here is the greatest and most obvious answer and solution. Instead of making it top priority to divert funds first to the choicest greedy hogs (favored stock holders) profits should first be considered for use to implement such technology and operational solutions. If you don't have engineers with that company that can figure it out; then ask me and pay me for it!
