It did unnerve me to see them talking more hot air about regulating hazardous material shipping.
Wouldn't bloody believe the hazmat fees on some things already. Granted there are things that just should not be used anymore where alternatives are at all possible (dimethylmercury for instance, although it was once used for certain spectroscopy purposes, iirc for calibrating NMR machines used for assaying mercury or something, but its just too fucking insidiously toxic, any commercial shipping would just be too dangerous, as there is little that can be done for poisoning cases.)
But bans on CFS, etc. ...sure, we don't want them depleting the ozone layer, but on occasion, they DO make for very useful solvents, being highly inert for the most part. And another bitch of that nature. Carbon tet...sure, its toxic, its environmentally about as friendly as an arsehole full of rottweilers, but again, it is just about the most inert solvent going, but its so hard to find now, for environmental reasons, as well as toxicity, its not just hard to get, and expensive, but plenty of places just don't want anything to do with it now.
