oil based paints ban!?

[GregP]

... not until the Cabinet finishes rolling over.

[Rumpty]

You radical republicans really ought to grow up and stop doing that to old folks.

But I do get what you're driving at.

What station was the report on? There has been no mention of such a ban on any of the Buffalo, NY TV stations' news reports and nothing in the local newspaper. I also did a "Google" search and can find nothing.

but they make funny sounds as the bounce off the stairs, and don't knock eating live puppies unless you've tried it!

[Richard Clements]

and how do the oil company's benefit? they don't make the additive

Mileage drops, more fuel is used.

Not only that, but here in SE Wisconsin, some of the gas has been wrecking fuel injectors resulting in very expensive injector replacements on quite a few vehicles. Nice stuff, huh?

Time to lay in a few cases of my favorite varieties. And a lot of Bloxygen too. At my level of consumption, that works out to around 40 or 50 quarts to last the rest of my life. I guess that's just too much for the neo nazi environmentalists.

Does this also mean no lacquer thinner? How will I/we clean up epoxy? Will epoxy be effectively banned as well?

Maybe we'll go back to the old days of mixing our own finishes ala Stradivari.

BTW, "all oil base products" covers an enormous territory, not limits to finish applied to wood. There's also a lot of food products that are oil base or have oil in them.

It was broadcast on Rochester WOKR Channel 13 (ABC) on the 6PM news, maybe a few days ago.

I hope somebody made a mistake. That would sure be egg on Don Alhart's face, though!

PS I just did a somewhat superficial search on WOKR TV's page and didn't find anything!?

Price goes up 10% for adding alcohol, mileage drops 10% from the less potent alcohol, fuel sales increase 10% as a result. Who loses? US! Who wins? Oil companies, on both sides of the equation.

You obviously don't understand much about gasoline economics. The winner is - The US! They invest nothing, transport nothing, refine nothing, market nothing, yet they and the states profit more than anyone else in the chain.

Now let's talk cigarettes....

Here's a link to a newspaper article .

Looks like they think that the VOCs in paint _create_ ozone somehow. I think there's confusion here on the part of the press. Of course the New York State Government's search engine is hosed.

[Ba r r y]

Right. I just find it funny when stuff like that happens.

You certainly do love to talk. Of course, it'd be better if you were saying something meaningful.

When you can come up with anything but crap to show that a twenty minute weekly stint with a lawnmower pollutes like a four hour/five-day commute, you let me know, hey?

Then we'll talk about the difference between a quart of solvent finish in one in fifty houses three times a year versus daily factory use of drums.
