Imagine having just cleaned up an area and someone was planning to go and pollute it again. The Port of Tacoma is planning on making a methanol plant for a company based in China. They should not build a methanol plant because, it will pollute our air with different chemicals, and it will cost a lot of money. These are only a few reasons why they should not build a methanol plant at the Port of Tacoma. The first reason why they should not build the methanol plant is that it will pollute our air. One textual evidence that shows this is from “Tacoma´s Methanol Refinery by the Numbers,” ¨Unknown amounts of airborne irritants volatile organic compounds, and carbon.¨ They don´t know how it will effect us which means it could be bad. If we knew

One detail that supports my answer is from “China Staking $5.2B Methanol Venture in State.” “A Chinese backed joint venture is planning to invest $5.2 billion in Washington State to develop plants that would convert large volumes of natural gas into methanol at the ports of Kalama, Cowlitz County, and Tacoma.” They are spending so much money on making it, while not saying how much it will give us. They haven’t said how it will help our economy, and if it is reliable. Another detail that supports my answer is from “Proposed Methanol Plant at Port of Tacoma Beginning to Draw Concerns.” “The $3.4 billion project will create 1000 jobs during peak construction and an estimated 260 permanent placements for workers in the region.” It cost so much money to make the plant, but it doesn’t say how much it will be paying people, we can't see how it’s helping people. It will only give 260 permanent jobs so once they are done building the plant many of the 1000 people have to go to new new jobs. My last concrete detail is from “China Staking $5.2B Methanol Venture in State.” “This week, joint venture Northwest innovation works plans to release a new detail for the Tacoma project that would double the scale of its previously announced methanol production and boosts the total investment from $3.6 billion to $5.2 billion.” For all we know, the scale might
