    Yeah, it's bad. If China won't recycle it, there's no **** way we can build a plant in the land of the free and the home of the brave (tree huggers) to recycle it. We haven't built an oil refinery since before most people reading this post were born.



    It just costs too much to get through all the legal BS before you even break ground stateside. Because we have to make sure that there's a habitat for the twinkly-toed yellow-bellied sapsucker before we actually create any jobs.

    I wonder if someone could build a recycling plant floating of the coast in international waters where laws aren't as strict.

    Laws aren't as strict but hurricanes sure can be. Mike

    Good point, but it kind of depends on which coast we're talking about. The west coast is pretty free of that.
