Check out how much it costs to get past the EPA and the rest fo the
government alphabet soup to build refining capacity, to drill, or other
facilities.


You can extend that statement to EVERYTHING nowadays.

You should see the cost of all the various EPA reports just for our airport
to extend a friggin' runway by a 1000 feet. It's incredible.

Best of all, we have paid this fee (really a "hidden" tax) over and over,
because OTHER government agencies have conspired to delay or change the
design of this runway a dozen times, over the last 10 of 15 years.

And each time the plan is changed, guess what? You need ANOTHER
"environmental impact statement"...

The company that contracts this service simply massages the old data,
reissues it in new book form, and cashes yet another check.

What a scam.
