So Exxon and SABIC are thinking about building a cracker plant on the Gulf Coast in Texas or Louisiana.  That’s good, since that cracker plant will use gas that will come, at least in part, from the Marcellus/Utica area.  It’s frustrating as a West Virginian (transplanted, sure, but this is my home) to see plans for a cracker plant clear down there when we can’t get one built here.  It would be great for the State, and great for my clients, but pretty much all we’ve heard about it is bad news.  Lately we haven’t even heard bad news.  It makes one think that it’s just not going to happen.  I sure hope that’s not the case.  West Virginia will once again miss out on a great opportunity to put it’s natural resources to good use.
