B.C. group pitches $10-billion ‘environmentally responsible’ refinery

A British Columbia-based consortium is proposing a $10-billion refinery for Canada’s West Coast, the second such plan aimed at winning support for processing and exporting petroleum products manufactured from the oil sands.

A group called Pacific Future Energy said it wants to build a massive plant in the Prince Rupert, B.C., area that could eventually process one million barrels a day, constructed in 200,000 barrel-a-day modules.

The aim is to develop a “near-net-zero” bitumen refinery using an environmentally friendly design powered by natural gas and renewables and employing carbon-capture technology. The group said it will concentrate on seeking support and partnership from First Nations.

Pacific Future Energy my poor greenwashed bum. What these moronic assholes are ignoring is the fact that the dilbit still has to be piped through BC and we don't want the freaking pipeline at all. Also hat oil still has to be shipped out... and refined oil cleanup is proven to be perhaps marginally more successful than dilbit would be. It would be total destruction of our province regardless of whether its oil or dilbit. Bastards.

Why do they keep trying this crap??? I am so sick of this.
