Remember: we're talking about the same numbskulls who put MTBE in gasoline in the 90s, which was to clean up the air. It did. However, it has very small molecules, which leached into the ground water and spoiled the entire Santa Monica, CA well water system for decades to come, and also it ate up the rubber in car fuel systems, causing a 1000 percent increase in car fires, belching thousands of tons of cyanide gas and black smoke into the air. (source: news article quoting a State Farm Insurance statistic at the time)... Naturally they removed MTBE after the damage was done.
