Benzene as a Chemical Hazard in Processed Foods - PMC

 

Did you read that paper?

The benzene contamination in food comes from the pollution, and plastic wrap. Yeah, if you make a highly processed food using dirty water, in a factory filled with fumes, and then wrap it in questionable plastic and then cook it over flames it might not be good for you. 

"its presence in foods has been attributed to various potential sources: packaging, storage environment, contaminated drinking water, cooking processes, irradiation processes, and degradation of food preservatives such as benzoates."

It is funny that you compare oil use to cigarette smoking.  There is no doubt cigs cause death.

From that same paper it says 99% of our benzene exposure was inhaled.  Since I don't smoke my best way to reduce toxic exposure to eliminate the other sources as best I can.

The wind energy system is already winding down with the change in federal direction.

https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/Orsteds-US-Struggles-Deepen-as-Trump-Derails-Offshore-Wind-Ambitions.html

"Orsted announced a $1.68 billion impairment charge on its US offshore wind projects due to rising interest rates, seabed lease issues, and delays in the Sunrise Wind project.

President Trump's executive order halting new offshore wind leases in federal waters and suspending permits and loans for wind projects further impacted the renewable energy sector.

Shares of Orsted and the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) fell sharply on the news, and Wall Street analysts expressed concerns about the future of the US offshore wind industry."

"Storm clouds continued to gather for the Danish company after Trump's executive order on Monday, which suspended new offshore wind lease sales in federal waters and halted the issuance of approvals, permits, and loans for both onshore and offshore wind projects.

Trump's announcement weighed on renewable shares, sending iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) slightly lower in premarket trading. ICLN shares have slid for 3.5 months on the anticipation that Trump will dial back green energy spending. Shares are now trading near 2020 lows."

So much for energy freedom.  Remember the time while freedom and free enterprise was a thing?

Such horrible logic "bans on oil development on federal land are bad,but bans on windmills are okay."

Freedom!!!
