China to invest 83.7 billion in West Virginia to build petrochemical plants

[Bismarck]

Shale oil is as dirty an industry as there is.

But let us not forget: a petrochemical industry attracts well-educated people who so far have been the political bane of Donald Trump. the Chinese may be investing, but if I worked for a Chinese company I would know where my paycheck comes from.

     

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that petrochemical engineers and scientists tend to be more republican, at least compared to similar positions in some other industries.
