PROOF??
In January, Hovensa entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Justice Department in which the company agreed to invest $700 million on pollution controls after a series of chemical releases affected people living downwind from the refinery.
Hovensa also agreed to pay a $5.4 million penalty for violating the Clean Air Act.
With the additional modification costs and fines, it was no longer economical to operate the refinery and the decision was made to close it.
Hovensa Refinery Closing on St. Croix
This St. Croix refinery could NO LONGER AFFORD primarily due to $700 million more in pollution controls needed to meet EPA!!!
What happened to the people downwind?
St. Croix total population of the island as per the 2010 U.S. Census is 50,601.
So under the one size fits all mentality of the EPA/Federal govt. and the fact that over 1,500 people on St. Croix will be out of work.. that's OK?
That 350,000 barrels a day gas refinery will cease affecting the supply of gas for millions of people... that's OK?
Remember the EPA up till the recent SCOTUS had NO hearing recourses, no independent investigations of cost benefit analysis... said pay $700 million.
So Hovensa says we can't make any money to pay the 1,500 employees plus make a profit CLOSE IT!
Remember this is all about supposedly protecting 50,000 people AT THE MOST!
Remember this is the SAME administration that has death panels in Obamacare!
Remember this is the SAME administration that happily approves of 1.0+million infant deaths every year!
So why are they concerned then about 50,000 knowing that at least 1,500 will now be out of work, will need unemployment checks, food stamps.. and millions of Americans paying MORE for gas... again all for 50,000!
Millions of Americans paying more.. yet this administration has no problem that 1.0+ million infants are murdered and encouraged to be with tax payer dollars!
