Any luck with gaining authorization to BUILD more refinery capacity? If this is the bottleneck, then a crash priority program of getting such facilities online is much overdue.

The Manhattan Project gave us an atomic weapon in something like three years or so. A complex to convert crude oil into so many of its useful components should not be that much of a stretch, as most of the engineering is already worked out, and the need is there.

NIMBY may be PART of the problem. Maybe your backyard is available?

No, we are still closing them due to democrat policies. See CA for how it goes down.
