[QUOTE=s.p.hansen;5123798]Thank you WeST.

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan of de-industrializing Utah or America for that matter. Right now the 5 refineries in Utah are estimated to be bringing in 500 million dollars a year. Ideally we would be able to move them out to some place in Utah that is far from a national and state park and an area that is not going to boom in population in the next 50 years. Maybe Delta Utah (they even meet the railroad requirement)?

Although I think you have good intentions moving the plant to a less populated area (affecting fewer people in the long-run), it seems very unjust to move industries we see as hazardous from Urban areas to Rural. We get the benefit of the industry while they get to live with the consequences.
