PA Gov Wolf Kills Plan for PES Refinery Expansion in Philadelphia

canceledPhiladelphia Energy Solutions (PES) has been on a mission to expand their operation at the Southport Marine site in Philadelphia by leasing an additional 200 acres to build a terminal for shale oil imports and exports. Believe it or not, a plan to lease the extra space has been going on for more than two years (see Marcellus Caught in Crossfire of Philly Port Leasing Controversy). That’s how long it takes to grease all of the corrupt Democrat hands in Philly to get anything done. Those corrupt hands have now been greased--by none other than Gov. Tom Wolf--and PES is now out in the cold, with their plan canceled by a $300 million bribe, er a, "investment" by Gov. Wolf and the good citizens of PA. Wolf's plan is to turn that 200 acres into a big parking lot to park incoming cars arriving by container ships from Japan.
