I found the guest editorial by Mike Machado, "The Environmental Protection Agency vs. rural America", somewhat lacking in facts.

British Petroleum was fined 18 billion dollars on July 2 for the spill in the Gulf Of Mexico. Exxon Mobile paid a huge amount for the Exxon Valdez spill. Duke Energy has agreed to pay $102,000,000 for it's pollution of waterways in North Carolina. These disas...
