KTIV's Coverage of Engineer Karen Hall's Talk on Hyperion Refinery
I have a notebook full of notes and several photos from last night's Lincoln County Democratic Party meeting which featured environmental engineer Karen Hall's research and analysis of the proposed Hyperion Refinery near Elk Point.
She gave an excellent, fact-filled talk that came down on opposition to the facility. I'll have a full story later today. In the meantime, KTIV-TV from Sioux City showed up and did a story. Here's their coverage:
Engineer: Hyperion Energy Center 'Not The Answer' To High Fuel Prices - KTIV
28/01/08 15:26 from Gorilla Project
KTIV Engineer: Hyperion Energy Center 'Not The Answer' To High FuelPrices KTIV, IA - 2 hours ago On the other side of the coin, HyperionResources says their oil refinery would be the cleanest in the nation.
Photo: Karen Hall, SDSM&T chemistry and chemical engineering graduate and former refinery compliance engineer from Rapid City, points to the tons of pollution that a refinery the size of the proposed Hyperion Refinery would produce. She spoke to the Lincoln County Democratic Party last night at their monthly meeting in Canton.

8th Cir. Ct. of App.: Case Strikes Down Fire Expert
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit (which S.D. sits in) has ruled on an interesting case concerning expert testimony. Blog 702 (http://www.daubertontheweb.com/2006/11/8th-circuit-upholds-exclusion-of-fire.html) has the details and I repost their excellent summary and links:
8th Circuit Upholds Exclusion of Fire Expert's Testimony
The Eighth Circuit has published an opinion upholding the trial court's exclusion of testimony from plaintiff's fire expert in an exploding heater case. The opinion says the expert supported his causation opinion only with "vague theorizing based on general principles," not with testing or engineering analysis. See Pro Service Automotive, L.L.C. v. Lenan Corp., No. 06-1324 (8th Cir. Nov. 22, 2006) (Wollman, Riley, & Gruender, JJ.).
