Title: An opportunity for Tulsa to move her refineries Post by: Hometown on April 28, 2005, 05:37:00 pm Yesterday’s news about President Bush and his proposal to help fund the building of new oil refineries on old army bases caught my attention. I thought this might be the opportunity Tulsa has been waiting for. Maybe it’s really time to relocate the old toxic refineries on the river.
A month or so ago I said, Tulsa should be the model oil town of the future and should partner with the refineries to relocate them. I mean if you can smell it, it’s going up your nose and into your body. But here’s what might turn into a golden opportunity for Tulsa to move the refineries, revitalize downtown and West Tulsa and become a leader in new refinery technologies and get some help from the feds in the process. City leaders jump on this. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/printstory.mpl/business/3157528 |
