A new, ultramodern refinery should be coming on board by 2010 in the Dakotas. Ironically, it is privately funded and was conceived as an operation that would refine Canadian oil brought in by pipeline. I believe it could also be expanded to include oil derived from the Bakken shale region of eastern Montana - Western Dakotas. We know how to build refineries, but investors just simply refuse to play the enviromarxist game as played by East Coast elitists and West Coast mamma’s boys, All Americans suffer as a consequence.

A new, ultramodern refinery should be coming on board by 2010 in the Dakotas.

The voters approved it, however the Green Party Wing of the Democrat Party are planning to file a lawsuit to stop it; like they did in Illinois:

Greens Thwart Gasoline Production

"... The Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council, or NRDC, successfully pressured the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to block ConocoPhillips’ expansion of its Roxana, Ill., gasoline refinery, which processes heavy crude oil from Canada, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

The project would have expanded the volume of Canadian crude processed from 60,000 barrels per day to more than 500,000 barrels a day by 2015. After the Illinois EPA had approved the expansion, the green groups petitioned the federal EPA to block it, alleging ConocoPhillips wasn’t using the best available technology for reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Apparently, the plant’s planned 95 percent reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions and 25 percent reduction in nitrogen oxides wasn’t green enough..."
