[War] [WAR] Canada: "Those damn Refineries"

[Dylan de Valk]

Those dam Refineries
July. 19/2014
PM James McColl
Canada

---------------

Luckily enough for the government, they had been anticipating the complaints
from the oil industry about the refinery costs.  Although it was a pain in
the arse, the government was willing to help with the refinery retooling.

An announcement was to be made on July.20th, tomorrow, about that.  McColl
and Finance Minister van der Werden would brief the press on the plan, which
included $5 billion in cold hard cash to help corporations with the costs.
Other arrangements would include financial incentives and a tax cut for 3
years to the oil companies burdened with the costs.  As they say, you could
almost build a new refinery for the cost of retooling an existing one.
Coupled with provincial help, this would be more than enough.  There were
also arrangements being made with the different corporations so that out of
the group, no more than a quarter at any given time would be being worked
on.

The government WANTED this scheme to work, and they were willing to do what
was needed.  Because retooling the refineries would cause a fuel shortage,
stockpiling of the various fuels produced would begin immediately to ease
any pains and keep prices stable.

The work on the refineries would begin when the pipeline project was around
half done.  The pipeline itself would take some time, and work would start
in the early spring, March, and was scheduled for completion by the late
summer, early September.  That meant there was more than a year to stockpile
fuels, more than enough time.

Once everything was back in order, Canada would be nearly self-sufficient in
the petroleum products department.

projects, retooling eastern Canadian refineries, and repairing the old
pipeline to the east.
