"Nobody wants to stick their neck out because the petrochemicals lobby will go after you, your career and your family." Yeah. That's more blunt and succinct than I put it, and you're absolutely correct. It's a damning indictment on our laws, our governance and even our society that this can actually happen. These days, techies and engineers fear to speak out and it takes a very brave person to be a whistleblower—and when they are, they're even ostracized by work colleagues who know the facts just as well as they do. Laws have to be strengthened and new ones enacted but unfortunately there seems a snowball's of that happening.
