1. Information, and 2. more information. (I know what y'all were thinking, but I've got plenty in that department. :)

Seriously, the problem is lack of information. Based on the study done, all they know is that perchlorate is definitely present in the local environment at what most scientists would probably consider to be alarming levels. They don't know exactly where it came from (although Eric & I would bet the nearby Reese Air Force base, closed in 1997, is a likely source), and don't know exactly what the average Lubbockite's level of contamination is. Texas Tech has already declined to fund any follow-up study of the situation which might answer those and other questions, and a private study is damned sure not gonna be funded any time soon; it wouldn't make anybody any money, and might even end up costin' somebody somthing. So, there we are. End of the line. :(
