An opportunity for Tulsa to move her refineries

[Hometown]

Yesterday's news about President Bush and his proposal to help fund the building of new oil refineries on old army bases caught my attention.  I thought this might be the opportunity Tulsa has been waiting for.  Maybe it's really time to relocate the old toxic refineries on the river.  

A month or so ago I said, Tulsa should be the model oil town of the future and should partner with the refineries to relocate them.

I mean if you can smell it, it's going up your nose and into your body.

But here's what might turn into a golden opportunity for Tulsa to move the refineries, revitalize downtown and West Tulsa and become a leader in new refinery technologies and get some help from the feds in the process.  City leaders jump on this.
