POV decription moved here

An oil refinery. The tapering vertical elements are smokestacks to create draft for heating units. Most of the complex vertical units are fractionating towers. Others are flares, at this refinery (Shell at Martinez, California) designed and permitted for emergency use only in case of process upset. (Flares are alleged by some to be used to dispose of unwanted waste materials (typically during the dark of night, the worst possible time from a ground-level polution standpoint) by incomplete burning with the actual pollution figures grossly underreported.)

Grossly biased opinion

The last sentence in the above comments by the uploader are, in my opinion, a gross violation of Wikipedia's Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) policy. The only air emissions shown in this photo are a small plume of steam. - Mbeychok 00:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I moved the original decription here, and will remove the POV part. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 12:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
