If Big West of California really wants approval for its Rosedale Highway refinery expansion, it needs to come out of the closet, so to speak. The old-school attitude of “the less the public knows the less they’ll bother us” doesn’t work anymore. Pssst — everyone KNOWS you’ve got some bad chemicals over there. It’s not a secret. The real mystery is why Big West doesn’t understand that cluing in the public about what’s happening at the refinery — and I mean every little thing — is the only way to gain our trust. If we don’t trust you, why should we allow you to build a bigger operation, bring in more toxic stuff (as if Kern isn’t already Chemical County) and endanger our lives and environment even more? For a few extra gallons of gas? Uh-uh. You gotta do better than that. A perfect example of what NOT to do is the bungled response to last Sunday’s “little leak” of anhydrous ammonia....
