Husky Refinery Launches Project to Boost Distribution

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 03:50 AM

Prince George, B.C. – The Husky Refinery in Prince George is the site of a construction project that will take about 8 months to complete.

Husky is increasing it’s distribution capabilities so it is upgrading it’s rail off loading and truck loading areas.

The construction means the cardlock pumps at the site had to be removed.

Over the next 8 months, there will be, on average, about 60 people working on the upgrading of the facilities.

Once complete, Husky may have to hire one or two more people to work in the area.

This is such wonderfull news. They will be able to increase production and the pollution that they dump into the Bowl.

But I have to admit it will create afew short term jobs as we are told. May be we could also tank out some of the pollution. Of coures thats a given with the product that they produce.
Cheers

Does that mean gas prices might go down .... FFS its 97 cents in Williams lake ...why the hell are we paying 108 here when every station in town with the exception of Chevron and Mohawks "special blends" comes from the Husky plant here in PG

I agree its wrong for PG to be over paying a consistent 10-cents a liter to have the honor of breathing in their air pollution, as they get to pollute our airshed for free on their income statement... long live the communist Chinese investment opportunities in Canada I guess....

The Husky refinery never ever should have been allowed to locate in the downtown to begin with... then to get government dollars to expand a few years back was ludicrous... but the government and their 'regulators' that make the big dollars that these projects bring into them are sure to get some good revenue to compensate them though... meanwhile PG gets a cancer clinic.

40-years ago we should have thought about the concept of an industrial area outside of the city downtown airshed, rather than the concept of captured government revenue for political empires.

IMHO

Most of the big trucking companies in PG buy their fuel from Edmonton because its to expensive to buy from the local refinery anyways....
