The San Patricio County Commissioners will be voting to give tax incentives to Exxon/SABIC on Monday, February 27th. Voting FOR tax abatement will reward Exxon/SABIC for putting one of these “ground flares” a little over a mile from G-PISD schools. The meeting will be at the county courthouse in Sinton at 9am Monday. Let them know how you feel during public comment.
These are photos from a flaring event in 2014 at a BASF ethane steam cracker plant in Port Arthur, TX. This cracker has significantly less output capacity (55%) than that of the proposed Exxon/SABIC cracker.#2close2schools
