It's insane, but it's the law.

So you wouldn't have any problem with a new refinery coming on-line up
wind of your abode?


I wouldn't mind at all. As a matter of fact I'd welcome it. At this very
moment there is a very old refinery 1.13 miles (as the Skyhawk flies)
away from my house and I can't remember the last time I smelled anything
from it.

Now, when I was growing up the place regularly put out an odor that would
curl your toes but over the last 20 years it has cleaned up nicely.

Unfortunately, it's that "nice odor" (or lack thereof) that cost billions,
and has made it economically impossible for any oil company to build a new
refinery.

Where do you get this stuff? AM radio?

Why would it be economical to retrofit all the existing refineries with
pollution controls (which has been done) but not economical to build new
refineries with the pollution controls?
