The “not in my back yard” crowd cites health issues from pollution and other troubles the refinery would bring to their neighborhoods. While the zoning issue is a big step, the company now has to submit a series of applications to local, state and federal agencies before construction an begin. Opponents say they have strategies that will slow or delay the permit processes.

I hadn't rd about that. They need the jobs there. The economic impact outweighs the environmental lobby and, therefore, it has a shot at becoming reality. Infrastructure is expensive but, if you're desparate, it'll get done. This is quite a way off from becoming reality though. We're about 20 years late on making the move but the economy has been too good for us over the years to get motivated. This stuff is like healthcare. No one wants to pay for it but everyone demands benefits. |
