10. There are/were several plant closures in that area

Projected job losses for plants planning to close:

Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant in Shippingport (several hundred jobs plus thousands who show up to do a fuel replacement cycles)
Bruce Mansfield Unit 3 coal fired power plant (several hundred employees)

Losses from plants already closed (property that Shell reused)

AES Beaver Valley coal-fired power plant (several hundred)
Horsehead Monaco Smelter (about 500)

One door closes and one door opens. The shell plant probably would not absorb all of these job losses; I'm not including construction jobs. I would expect the Shell plant to hire people with different skill sets than were employed at the four plants I listed.
