It's going to take someone a lot smarter than me to figure this one out.
Attention, Solomon, we could use some of your wisdom on this conundrum.

Literally.
No one can argue the potential economic boost the county stands to cash in on should Sunoco get the go-ahead to build its Mariner East 2 pipeline plan.
It could Marcus Hook into the energy hub of the northeastern U.S.
To say nothing of salvaging the entire lower end of the county from the edge of the abyss we all peered into when the refinery business hit the rocks.
Then again, it's pretty easy to see the concern of residents who don't necessarily want a pipeline moving into their neighborhood.
We talk about it in today's editorial.
My guess is that this pipeline plan is going to happen. There's too much money involved.
If that's the case, then it's incumbent on our elected officials - and residents - to make sure Sunoco is transparent as possible, and held to the highest safety and inspection standards.
