OTOH, longer term, things do look better, especially with the Natural Gas pipeline getting underway, contract signing possibly this fall.
Correct, on the long term domestic view of energy, however we have some very serious & dangerous geostrategic dilemmas brewing currently in the Gulf region which have global supply implications once action is undertaken, which regrettably will most likely supersede new refinery construction and the Natural Gas pipeline, which would address one domestic energy concern, while not correcting the reformulated unleaded shortfall.
