Define safe.
If you decide to open a sewage treatment plant or nuclear waste reprocessing facility on you land, will you post a bond against possible damage to my land, or the air and water I breathe?
If not, is it fair for the community to shoulder the burden of cleanup when there is an incident?
I find it ironic that conservatives are so in favor of tort reform, when civil action is the only way to enforce the libertarian notion that people and businesses should be held responsible for their actions.
Setting a half million dollar cap on a 5 million dollar cleanup is essentially corporate welfare in that everyone else is assuming the burden of the actions of an individual or business.
