There is no oil shortage. We have a refining problem. There have been no new refineries built in the US for the past 30 years. The grand Poo-Paa from Saudi Arabia has been on TV many times in the past few months saying we would be gland to send the US more oil but they don't have the capacity to refine it. Now ask yourselves who has stopped the construction of refineries in the US for the past 30 years?

Well, why hasn't Bush pushed for more refineries if the solution is that simple?

NO, no, no. The pricing problem is the fault of the evil SUV! See post 33.

don't kid yourself, the oil companies don't want any excess refining capacity. they like things just as they are right now. take a look at their quarterly profits.
