Del, Yes, left to their own the foundries would have cleaned up their act so to speak. And you're right, Ayn Rand would've been proud. Many in the Depression would've loved to see those factories belch that smoke and the jobs it would bring keeping the wolf from their door. As for the expense, corporations usually pass it along to the consumer. They don't like to take a hit on their profits. FT

Del, it is so nice to see your name on a post. I had begun to think you might be on vacation. I wonder if your paper has the complete story on the discovery of the new planet in another solar system. Here is an article from mine, in case it does not: sfgate.com

>>"FT, I grew up 1 block away from a foundry in Wisconsin that used coke to melt the steel to pour into castings."<< Del, is that foundry still there TODAY? Or did it shut down like most other foundries in the US. My company used to have a foundry that was capable of pouring a single casting weighing 125 tons (250,000 lbs). We shut the foundry down in 1986 and now buy all of our castings from overseas. It was too expensive to operate with all the EPA regulations. 245 men lost their jobs. Jim
