As George Carlin states: Its not Earth that needs help, its us.

600 million years from now the earth will still be here. There isn't a snowballs cahnce in hell that we will though.

Environmental clean-ups are a tad more difficult to come by now... so, if anyone knows of anyone needing some environmental compliance or remediation, please don't hesitate to point them my way.

yeah, I knowwhat you mean. Those pesky people from the EPA really hurt the remediation industry w/ those 98 UST rules.

The company I'm with designs, builds, and maintains a bunch of air sparge/soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) systems nationwide. We also have a few ion-exchange systems running to remedidate metals contaminated groundwater sites.

you guys build AS/SVE systems?! Those things are pieces of crap - we just got done having the blower re-rebuilt on an SVE, for the 2nd time in as many years. The sparge isn't as bad, but they should be mounted on rubber blocks (like motor mounts) - we've had some trouble w/ the rubber toothed piece that connects the motor and the extractor tearing up from too much vibration.

i'm guessing you guys make your profit in maintaning the systems!
