There is a lot of NIMBY. There is a lot of tree huggers stopping nasty oil just for the sake of stopping nasty oil. EPA is simply a pain. Fish & Wildlife bemoan the loss of habitat. etc.
I hope Hyperion has the wearewithal to pull it off, but look for a page 10 story about either their bankrupcy or their cancellation of their planned refinery.

I would love to have it here in Canada.
Just curious, why wouldn't you want it in the US? I am assuming you are US based?

But really, why not refine it in Canada and sell it to the U.S. with value added as refined products? All the Mideast countries are wanting to do that now.

You are in Spain? Didn't realise that there was a large petroleum industry there. Wine and cork - yes. Petro - not so much.

This location is "strategic", if you see it as the geographic center of all the world's oil fields. I have a couple of petro clients, but not here.
