This is interesting to me because it here in SLC we have several refineries. There is also a huge ongoing debate regarding air quality in the valley. Now, part of the issue is that we live in a bowl which makes air quality a constant issue.
But, local PR wants everyone to drive less, carpool, Yada Yada. But, it's easy to see that the refineries are one of the main culprits of the issue. So why not take this opportunity to build new refineries with new technology that drastically cuts down on emissions from the existing refineries?
Wouldn't this appease both sides?A major refinery was planned for a remote section of Arizona back in 2005, but even that one was blocked by environmentalists per my understanding. There must be an opportunity to recoup the $B from the investment too.Quote:
Building a new refinery costs billions of dollars and takes years. For that investment to yield a decent return, domestic demand for gas and for diesel will have to be strong for quite some time to come.
See, this type of stuff is good fodder for people that just despise Democrats, me included…
I personally believe it's naive to think that radicals don't want a total destruction of the US system. They unfortunate part is that the current administration "appears" to be following their goal!
