There was a refinery fire today in the Husky Refinery in Superior Wisconsin today. It seems a little odd and interesting that Husky only purchased that refinery in November from Calumet and that they are quietly expanding the pipeline from the Canadian Tar Sands to that facility. I was just reading about the pipeline expansion a few days ago because it has been quietly progressing without any protests unlike the HUGE protests in the Dakotas last year and the current protests that are going on daily in Canada over the new pipeline to the West Coast.
While it sounds like an accident, these days we shouldn’t rule out foul play until after an investigation. It was during a shut down and 20 people are hurt but if it isn’t foul play, then maybe there should more concern that this refinery could handle more capacity.
I am sure someone at Husky is looking at all these scenarios and hopefully, we will hear about it
