I noticed this part pertaining to the New Refinery:
Hyperion touted the so-called "green" technology in its proposed energy center, which it claims would be the world's cleanest. The refinery would process 400,000 barrels of tar sands crude a day from Alberta into low-sulfur gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
The part about "tar sands" caught my eye. The Tri-State area around Colorado supposedly has the largest deposits of shale oil in the World. It sounds as though we're now investing in tapping into it.
