[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 706309, member: 56140"] Our cheaply priced goodies from China raise our fuel prices and the tree huggers do too. Who wants a refinery next to their house? Why is our gas so expensive? We do not have the refining capibility to keep up with demand. Who wants a refinery next to their house? We want refineries built, but where. Nobody wants it near them. I used to work in many petroleum and chemical facilities. They are nasty and dangerous places. The polute the ground like you can not imagine. They have Hydroflouric acid...nasty stuff. Hydrogen Sulfide...DEADLY in small doses. They can have explosions with no warning. Chemical releases are quite common. I can not tell you how many times I have goten sick with Chemical Bronchitis. We want cheap fuel, but we do not want the facilities near us to make them. The EPA makes it hard for a company to build a refinery and it takes years to build. There are thousands of miles of piping, rail car support, storage tanks that will store 1 million gallons of fuel and oil, along with bi-products that must be disposed of. Even the small Marathon/Ashland refinery in Canton, Ohio is a disaster waiting to happen. That is the petroleum industry. Who wants a refinery in their back yard? Tom [/QUOTE]
