    I fear the worst. The guy who invented the formula that put lead in petrol(gasoline), spent the next, umm…i think 50 years fighting to get it removed. I expect something like this to take about 70 or 80 years at the rate the US moves. Le Sigh

      Hmm, maybe you’re thinking about somebody else? The guy I know of as putting lead in gasoline went on to put CFCs in fridges…

        You are correct, I was thinking of the Agent Orange guy who was trying to improve soybean growth. I saw it on this TV show hosted by John Noble called “Dark Matters”.
