It is about time the state of Florida gets involved in the oil Business and create some good paying jobs. They just need to keep tight restrictions on inspections of these tanks and EPA regulations of these items. This can be operated safely. We are already giving our Oil reserves away to China because we will not drill offshore. China is going to Drill off the coast of Cuba into the Florida reserves.

Depending on type of oil, as in Jay Fl., Hydrogensulfide gas will rot down fences tops and sides of barns. Let them truck the oil as they are doing now in other places. As far as the jobs, there will a be few if anyone in the area is hired. The county commissioners have no idea what they are dealing with here. But they are going to let the locals deal with the problem after start up. Let the people in area vote on such things. I hope it is still WE THE PEOPLE.

Seriously?! Did they bother to ask any of the residents if they WANTED a big industrial complex near thier homes? What if there’s an oil spill? What about the smell? How about the increased traffic? How about the drop in our property values? I OBJECT! I DO NOT want any sort of industrial complex as my neighbor. Guess who’s not getting voted in next time!? Anybody want to buy an acre or so about 5 miles from the new plant? Got a junky house and a decent trailer on it.

Hopefully these new jobs will not be in house with the company.

But what if there’s a snail darter or a soon to be protected rattlesnake nest in there, will we then have to spend millions of dollars to start all over and find another site? Sometimes the government just can’t leave well enough alone (actually, now that I think about it, most times!)
