While driving I-65 N, I listened to a Chicago talk station. Apparently BP in Indiana wants to expand refinery capabilities. Illinois says, “Not too fast at the expense of polluting Lake Michigan”. Whatever the BP proposal, Illinois says that it won’t happen.

...wants to expand refinery capabilities...

The operative word being "expand", as in "not build new". 

For decades one of the big reasons for pushing expansion instead of building new has been all the environmental hassle; from what you're saying we may be seeing even the expansion route getting shut down too.
