Water is definitely something overlooked in most discussions about plants. They take an absolutely massive amount of water. There is a large building here in Hardisty, AB, recently vacated by the supposedly profitable Encana oil and gas giant. The building is only 10 years old, and some locals were trying to build interest in a Co-op type packing plant. When someone mentioned water, all the air went right out of their sails. Large water supplies are just not to be found in this area, or alot of areas for that matter.
I hope someone gets off the ground though, and I do like the idea of one large 'central' plant. The key to it all will be committment and loyalty from all parties involved.
