>>>BP's plan to modernize and expand its Whiting Refinery runs into a buzzsaw of opposition.<<<

About four months ago I sat in on the Senate Energy Committee hearing on high gasoline prices. In it, Sen Ron Wyden abused Paul Sankey (DeutscheBank) and accused the refinery community of intentionally not constructing additional refining capacity in order to keep the supply of gasoline down and prices up. Sankey must have used the phrase "legislative and environmental uncertainty" 20 times. I guess this proves that he was correct.

Query for the board. The article reads:

>>>They've hired a consultant to review the water permit granted by Indiana regulators that will allow BP, one of the largest polluters along the Great Lakes, to dump 54 percent more ammonia and 35 percent more sludge into Lake Michigan each day.<<<

Isn't ammonia valuable for fertilizer?? Why would they dump that??
