There have been environmental cleanup and remediation projects within a few
miles of my house a lot bigger than this, at the end of the pipeline from
Texas to Georgia. We had a fuel tank explode. Heck, there was a dry
cleaning plant in Chamblee that cost hundreds of thousands to clean up, and
many months.

A clean up costing millions of dollars is minor. A superfund site such as
an old battery factory with lead in the ground costs tens of millions.

YOU are the one who called this a "stupendously expensive and
environmentally disastrous failure." You made that absurd comparison, not
me!
