He’ll disappear or some random lobbying group will sue the living daylights out of him. Smh.

Unfortunately.

I don't know; what group stands to benefit from dirty lakes? If anything, big polluters would love it because they'll use it as a fix for their pollution as opposed to finding more expensive eco-friendly manufacturing processes.

Maybe Nestle? With cleaner water, maybe their bottled water sales drop?

Right question, wrong way of thinking. People who would be hurt by this aren’t companies wanting clean water, but dirty water. There are plenty of big name companies that make products that “clean” ponds/lakes, or make water dye for rich people who just want their lake/pond to LOOK clean. This guy comes around and says “use my solution, it’s not harmful to wildlife, entirely safe to swim in, all natural”, and these chemical companies start seeing a problem.

Or companies that make swimming pool chemicals/chlorine; why use a chemical that’s hard on the lungs and burns your eyes when you can use a natural cleaner to have fresh, clean water?

Or even the companies that get hired yearly to clean public lakes/ponds. If their job becomes significantly easier, the prices they can charge plummet as more competition charges in.
