Twelve petro-chemical companies in the Mississippi River Region and Lake Charles area will be exempt from complying with a 2024 rule that was aimed at cutting pollution and cancer risk for communities near industrial plants by Trump's two year exemption. The exemption will apply to Shell, BASF, Dow, Union Carbide, Denka, Sasol and Westlake and a handful of others according to reports.
So, Louisiana will continue to have more environmental problems from those polluting company operations at the expense of people's health. And once again it is no secret who Trump, his party and the republicans in Louisiana really care about. It is not the citizens of Louisiana or those who voted for Trump. Make no mistake, those who voted for Trump knew what was coming.
Some things never change in Louisiana, therefor the future will continue to look like the failed past. And that really says it all.
