According to at least three of the candidates in that debate, the corporation commission is the fourth branch of government. Who knew that we had four?!
I know that we have discussed this before, but I looked up how much cargo ships pollute.

Also,
...and "Low-grade ship bunker fuel (or fuel oil) has up to 2,000 times the sulphur content of diesel fuel used in US and European automobiles."
You know how people insist that clean diesel doesn't exist?
