Well, there are at least a few sensible voters somewhere in this
country.

"Union County approves zoning ordinance for Hyperion"

Predictably, the enviroNazis, though defeated at the polls, "vowed to
keep fighting the controversial project on every imaginable front,
pressing on with a lawsuit it filed against the county over the zoning
procedures and opposing Hyperion as it applies for a bevy of state and
federal permits."

But this is precisely why we have not had a new oil refinery built in
the country in 32 years. It is disgusting that a company should even
have to be subjected to a vote on such venture and that it should have
to endure this kind of opposition.

But it is at least encouraging that the project will move forward.
