Refinery proposal ignites battle for support

The predictable NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) reaction to Hyperion Energy’s proposed Union County, SD oil refinery is off and running.

Whatever. Typical NIMBY opposition to any form of serious economic development (unless it’s a project of your own).

This will be a long, drawn out argument…and hopefully the project will proceed. The country needs refineries, and the 1800 permanent jobs will be a strongly positive addition to the state.
