A newspaper mogul wants to be an oil man.
David Black is proposing a 13-billion dollar oil refinery in Kitimat, to process all of the oil from the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline.
Black says processed oil is safer for transport than crude, and his refinery would create thousands of jobs.
He admits, refining oil isn’t the industry’s first choice – but it is economically viable.
Black’s “Kitimat Clean” proposal is now going for Environmental Assessment.
