    It would be the rule, because historically it has been the rule prior to the introduction of environmental legistlations.

    I mean I gave a few quick examples,

    Buts its heavily advised not to swim in many water ways in the US due to pollution or drink water from these places, even some beaches. Lets not forget a lot of water is undrinkable in asia, the M.E, etc.

    Some places need to be avoided due to chemicals, Cali and the west coast needs to worry about smog from China, etc.

    making a rule out of a shit hole town that has imploded due to massive amounts of crime and lack of regulation due to fear of being killed is NOT a good way to make the rule. if it was dallas or something to that effect you MIGHT have a good point. its one of the most dangerous places in america. you think the health folks are just skipping along dying to go there and enforce regulations? get real dude.

    It demonstrates what happens if people aren't willing to uphold the legislation, or if it's not there to be upheld in the first place. The legacy pollution in a lot of UK rivers is still so bad, even after decades of cleaning operations that the water is undrinkable and the biodiversity in them is far, far below pre-industrial levels.

    you went from provable to speculation very quickly here. the news will tell you every summer not to swim in lakes due to certain amoebae in lakes. the reality is that as of 2011 this is the reality.

    not saying you are wrong, just saying perspective please

    Back then homes and cars were much more basic. People didnt need air conditioning, bluetooth streaming, heated powered seats, power steering, ABS, etc... All that crap adds up. Also homes didnt have alarm systems, central air, central vacuums, gigantic floorplans, dishwashers, garbage disposals, finished basements, etc.. Same thing. People also didnt insist on having iphones, cable TV, broadband, netflix, dinners at restaurants several nights a week, etc... to waste money they didnt have on

    You can still get a small basic home and decent used car ($5000 over 5 years is about $100 per month) and go to community college with federal student loans that dont need paid back until you get a job on minimum wage

    Some areas are declared unsafe due to contamination.

    More seriously, I'm not sure why keystone excel is lumped with no drill. Surely, you must know that exporting canadian oil to the US (Keystone) means lowering the barrel price ?
    And lowering the barrel price gets us gasoline cheaper. Its a great thing!

    And any problems we have with water (which I think youre blowing out of proportion) can be easily treated with filters, reverse osmosis, and other technologies. Its isnt going to kill us, and what does it matter if some fish die off?

    Yes, but you must realize that a project that aims to bring profits when the barrel is at 100$ (example) will not be profitable when the barrel is at 50$

    The Flint Michigan issue has NOTHING to do with water pollution due to oil drilling. Its because the pipes they used to transport it are too old and need replaced.

    Fishermen lose their jobs. Also, cleaning up contaminated land and water is horrendously expensive.

    100.000 tons of plastic being dropped to the ocean every year... try to reverse osmosis that
    if you dont mind, we the humans are part of an ecosystem, and if we kill "some fish" it will come back and bite us on the butt
