One of the unsightly byproducts of oil production is petroleum coke. Residents of Detroit are no strangers to abuse by large corporations. That is perhaps why the Koch brothers felt like it was a good plan to store a three-story high pile of petroleum coke near the Detroit River. Ah, environmental racism at its finest.

doesn’t use it. In America, we prefer the high grade crude oil, that doesn’t stop the U.S. from exporting it overseas though. In fact, U.S. refiners provide over one-half of all petcoke traded in the global market, most if it is purchased by China. Given China’s lax environmental regulation, it’s not a huge surprise that they would be interested in using this product.
