Libertarians think Fiction is Reality.

42. Which regulation proposals were defeated by the Libertarians?

Alot of words but not any specifics to back it up.

Should somebody inspect it? Obviously yes. Two independent services would be better as it might foster some competition.
In my old Fire Service days, State Law required the Fire Marshall to perform regular inspection/certification of tanks such as the one in WV. The insurance carrier sent their own risk specialist regularly to such sites to help reduce the risk of having to pay out. Either USEPA or USCG has jurisdiction depending upon location for hazardous materials and possible environmental threats. It's also a workplace so OSHA should be involved at some level. And as we observed in the Texas explosion, DHS is getting involved because of potential terrorist/WMD use of materials.

Just sending in more inspectors to verify compliance with the legal requirements may not have helped. Convincing someone to take action when it's not legally required is a bit more of an art. It seems expensive to recover an insured loss. But it doesn't include things like your customers finding alternate suppliers, loss of Name, etc. The focus really needs to be on the Quality of the inspection and not on the quantity.
