British Petroleum or BP wants to expand on an oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana. This would be a great thing considering no new oil refineries have been built since 1976, which is another reason you are paying four dollars for gas. Environmentalist does not seem to care about such matters though. On Wednesday, environmental group The Natural Resources Defense Council filed a lawsuit that challenged air permits granted to BP by the State of Indiana.
The group claims the permits “simply do not protect the public and do not live up to the law.”
Protect the public… from what? The potential to increase gas and diesel production by 1.7 million gallons a day, or maybe it is protection from the creation of 2,000 construction jobs that would be created from the project to help Indiana families. What about the 80 permanent jobs it would create to run the place.
