I have researched and I am educated. Maybe you are not as educated as you may think. Have you looked at ALL sides of this issue? No you have not, like many others on your side you have tunnel vision. This plant will not only be good for this area, but it will be GREAT for this country. Cement is one of the most IMPORTED materials for the U.S. and yes, more so than oil. Do you know what all cement is for and what it does? Every building and every home constructed, all roads, highways, bridges, and much more. Having this plant in the United States is important for this country and we should be proud to have it here, in our home. Are you a true GREEN conservative? Then educate yourself more please. This facility will do more than you have wrapped your mind around. Think about it as a whole and way the pro's and con's, just like anything else should be.
