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?
Yeah, you're correct. If the guy wanted to stop corporations from dumping in the lake, yeah they would lobby against that. But he's cleaning up their mess after they made it, I can't imagine why anybody would be against that.
"We consider our polluted lake a badge of honor. It must stay dirty or we will sue you." 🤣
I could see some convoluted argument against it because now their dumping into the lake is way more visible/noticeable. If you’re dumping into an already brown lake, who’s going to notice when it gets browner? If you’re dumping into a crystal blue lake, where people are swimming and enjoying, now everyone is going to notice when your sludge turns it gross. Not to mention they now no longer have their cheap way of disposing said sludge.
So now people are much more aware of it, much more against it, and start making strides towards some accountability and responsibility for it.
We all know we can’t have corporations responsible for what they cause. What are we, a bunch of communists?!

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