... also making some new refineries

We already have a surplus of refinery capacity. We currently make more refined product than we use and export the surplus.

We haven't built a new refinery in ~3 decades, but we have spent most that time expanding and upgrading the ones we already have.

Are those real exports, or just trans-shipments through a Caribbean intermediary so that refined product can be sent from TX to NY without having to use union labor?
