Those evil people who always site those plants in low-income areas. Put those plants on Rodeo Drive or the Miracle Mile.
Whoops...the minority populations ARE converting both to good plant sites.
That refinery is the only industry on the island and not only provides good jobs but also props up the local government. It was built in the 1960’s and at that time provided fuel oil for New England states. During those days it was always subject to OSHA regulations and inspections, probably still is. It is located on the south side of an island on which the prevailing winds are out of the Northeast. Now what’s the problem???
