I'm not fond of speculating about the Gorilla project in Elk Point, but if the project is a big refinery to make liquid fuel out of coal, we may be barking up the wrong tree. The Chinese -- who have a booming population to provide for and thus have not been terribly sensitive to environmental concerns in their push to catch up with the industrialized nations -- are considering
halting their coal-to-oil projects, citing expense and water demands, as well as concerns that such plants would produce a net increase in greenhouse gases. Maybe Elk Point and the governor need a dose of ancient Chinese wisdom....
