"Gasoline refineries would take years to rebuild."

Oddly, no. Recall that refineries and synthetic fuel plants were primary targets of the Allied bombers in WW II.

Even after being carpet-bombed, these facilities were often back on line within days.

They didn't have to file EPA reports and spend years in litigation for permits to build. The environmentalists are a critical part of the problem.

They didn't have to contend with Al EPA.

Isn't that refinery that burned early this year going to be out of business for years?
