1970: Progress or the environment? (Marathon Oil)
We'd like them to eat their cake and have it too
Does it have to be progress or environment? We think they go hand in hand. Here's one example. Demand for gasoline in the Midwest is growing, and Marathon sales are growing faster than demand. We're virtually rebuilding our Robinson, Illinois, refinery so 75% of its output can be gasoline. At the same time, we've spent millions on environment controls to make sure cleanliness matches growth. We're giving the same careful attention to clean air and water at our other refineries, too. And we've joined with 10 other companies in a research program to reduce contaminating emissions from auto engines.
