A 2nd New Refinery - In Arizona


We are Arizona Clean Fuels Yuma, a Phoenix-based company dedicated to the idea that a cleaner fuel is a better fuel. And we're not just talking about it. We're doing something about it.
About 100 miles southwest of Phoenix, in Yuma County, Arizona, we're planning the most technologically advanced refinery in the history of the United States. When completed, the Arizona Clean Fuels refinery will produce the cleanest burning gasoline, diesel and jet fuel in all of North America. As the first such facility in Arizona, the refinery will not only ensure cleaner burning fuels for Arizona's drivers, it will also free us from total dependency on California and Texas for our transportation fuels.
When completed, the $3 billion facility will provide a stable supply of environmentally friendly fuel in the state that reduces harmful emissions from vehicles and provides the ultra low sulfur fuels necessary for the new generation gas and diesel engines that operate virtually pollution-free.

Once the necessary permits are obtained, Arizona Clean Fuels Yuma will immediately begin construction of the refinery - a three to four year process. Obtaining permits to build and operate the facility is not an easy task, as government regulators at all levels have developed stringent rules and guidelines that must be followed. We anticipate full operation in early 2012. The plant will be able to produce approximately 6 million gallons per day of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. The refinery project expects to provide numerous jobs during the course of construction and operation. Over 3000 people will be needed to construct the refinery and over 600 jobs will be created in order to operate the refinery and its ancillary components.

So what is the point. There has not been a refinery built in the US in nearly 30 years. It would cost billions. You think it will really happen?
