cancer rate is 130% which means one in three of us will get double cancer

just eating fish from tainted water is a 7% cancer risk

it's for BOATS lol

    Don't worry, it's not much more carcinogenic than existing chemicals that were grandfathered in.

    Nevertheless, in response to questions, the agency wrote, “EPA considered the full range of values described in the risk assessment to develop its risk management approach for these” fuels. The statement said that the cancer risk estimates were “extremely unlikely and reported with high uncertainty.” Because it used conservative assumptions when modeling, the EPA said, it had significantly overestimated the cancer risks posed by both the jet fuel and the component of marine fuel. The agency assumed, for instance, that every plane at an airport would be idling on a runway burning an entire tank of fuel, that the cancer-causing components would be present in the exhaust and that residents nearby would breathe that exhaust every day over their lifetime.

    In addition, the EPA also said that it determined the risks from the new chemicals were similar to those from fuels that have been made for years, so the agency relied on existing laws rather than calling for additional protections. But the Toxic Substances Control Act requires the EPA to review every new chemical – no matter how similar to existing ones. Most petroleum-based fuels were never assessed under the law because existing chemicals were exempted from review when it passed in 1976. Studies show people living near refineries have elevated cancer rates.

        Nah, if they gave away the name they'd be giving away what it's made of. And we can't have people finding out there's straight up Molochian blood hexes in the fuel

    this doesn't even seem like (irregular) corruption. EPA drew up some program for recycled fuel to put a """green""" checkmark on the federal progressive scoresheet to wave during election season and they're pushing shit through to make it a success.

    everyone knew reprocessing fucking plastic (a byproduct of fuel REFINING) would turn out the nastiest of stuff but who cares this looks good for chevron's balance sheet & for the administration
