Or how advanced nuclear waste technology is 'safe' because using the word advanced makes the waste seems acceptable.

>In an email Chevron spokes person Ross Allen wrote: “It is incorrect to say there is a one-in-four cancer risk from smoke-stack emissions. I urge you avoid suggesting otherwise.” Asked to clarify what exactly was wrong, Allen wrote that Chevron disagrees with ProPublica and the Guardian’s “characterization of language in the EPA consent order”. That document, signed by a Chevron manager at its refinery in Pascagoula, quantified the lifetime cancer risk from the inhalation of smoke-stack air as 2.5 cancers in 10 people, which can also be stated as one in four.
Urges us to avoid suggesting the truth.
>In a subsequent phone call, Allen said: “We do take care of our communities, our workers, and the environment. Generally, this is job one for Chevron.”
They take care of profiting off the communities, and spreading the cost of their pollution to every one else.
