We also need investment in plants that turn natural gas into diesel and jet fuel.
If our leaders had half a brain,,they would be spending money on this rather than wind mills, geothermal and solar power.
Energy independence is more vital than ever to our national security.

Similar, but not the same.

Hydrocrackers require a feed of hydrogen. This creates new bonds of hydrogen generating more valuable products. Often a catalytic cracker would be upstream of the hydrogen cracker, if the refinery has both in the process stream.

Sometimes they are installed as a parallel process like this example.
