I hope there’s language in that agreement that ensures they hire the locals instead of bringing in leftists from all over the country.

These kinds of infrastructure projects can also bring in foreign investment. EU is a high cost of energy area, and China has not tapped its gas reserves very well yet. Companies in both areas might want to relocate to West Virginia and take advantage of the low cost of energy and input chemicals to create products.

“I hope there’s language in that agreement that ensures they hire the locals instead of bringing in leftists from all over the country.”

They will hire people that have the necessary skill sets.

If they can find 100,000 people in Wheeling, West Virgina with chemical engineering skills beyond what may be required for a WV meth lab, they will hire those people.

If not, they will look elsewhere for qualified workers.

Running a meth lab teaches all the important skills, chemistry, entrepenureship, work ethic... Lol

A work ethic that drives a man to work 120 hours without a break.

He said the average pay in the chemical industry is about $90,000 annually.

Not a word mentioned about needing chemical engineering skills. You're not worthy enough to sweep floors in Wheeling.

A Google search of “Wheeling WV” + “meth lab” produces quite a few results.

A small fraction of the jobs created would need chemical engineering skills. This is to build a facility, so construction/engineering, transportation, management, etc. would be needed more.

Also, all the new people moving in would need groceries, gasoline, clothing, which would cause hiring in all industries.

A Google search of “Timpanagos1” + “FR Troll” produces quite a few results.

Politicians inflate the expected number of downstream jobs.

Also, if we drop out of the Paris agreements on “climate change,” we can scoop up a lot of international business because we can keep energy prices lower than the EU.

????

You do realize that petroleum engineering STARTED not far from Wheeling, and the first petroleum engineering degrees came from the University of Pittsburgh over 100 years ago. Western PA and the nearby Ohio River Valley have a rich history in petroleum engineering and petro products manufacturing that continues to this day.

There are two types of Hillbilly chemists, those that make meth that blows up and improvised explosives that fizzle...
...and those that survive.
