I thank The Columbian for opposing the proposed methanol refinery in Kalama. Aside from the pollution increase mentioned in the Cheers & Jeers editorial on Dec. 26, the proposed refinery would only create about two jobs per acre according to Northwest Innovation Works, the proposed refinery’s owner. Other businesses would create far more jobs and the building trades would construct even more facilities than for the methanol refinery.
To The Columbian, cheers!
