Drilling The Big GOP Lie: The US Exports More Gasoline Than It Imports

Those days marked the first time gas went above a dollar a gallon. That's why the Carter administration decided to improve on an idea first implimented in Germany during the 2nd World War.

At some point after the initial gas scare subsided, but following the plans and allocation of government funding for construction and fire-up, the plant was moth-balled and canabalized for various reasons in the days since. It worked, albeit not so economically, though I've heard they learned enough from the experience to build a facillity which would be much more efficient.
No doubt you depended the union for your wage, and retirement. Now that you have their retirement, you choose to go against the very thing that made you your living. We see your kind all the time. Take the money and run.
