More questions about the Gorilla Project

Dakota Midday - 06/19/2007

A Texas-based energy firm wants to build the first U.S. oil refinery in three decades near Elk Point. But there’s a lot we don’t know about the company and the type of refinery they intend to build. On today’s program we’re joined by University of South Dakota economics professor Bob Tosterud, Cal-Berkeley energy expert Severin Borenstein and Elk Point resident Jason Quam, one of only two land owners who’ve been made an offer by Hyperion. We’re exploring the questions surrounding what’s become known as the “Gorilla Project” - why here, why now. And Sioux Falls Argus Leader culture critic Robert Morast joins us to talk about current movies and music.
