southern states. Were they talking permanent jobs or temporary jobs? They have talked about building a cracker plant
near here for years but no decision has been made. They say it will employ 10000 people in construction but just a few
hundred permanent jobs. Over the 10 years or so they have been drilling it has made many temporary jobs building pipelines and
construction of facilities. I mean they build a pipeline there are many workers involved in the project but it makes just a handful of permanent jobs. It has made a lot of landowner's millionaires.
