For years the refiners have been yelling about restrictions preventing them from building new refineries but now that the energy bill was passed and restrictions removed the refiners went silent. All they had to do to release some pressure on the market, placed by speculators, is announce future refineries but in reality they never intended to build new ones, it was just an excuse to them.

Would you mind directing me to your reference material. re: "restrictions removed" & "they never intended to build new ones"....

Thanks-

"Would you mind directing me to your reference material. re: "restrictions removed" & "they never intended to build new ones"...."

Congressman Barton himself told me that the energy bill removed numerous restrictions. As for "they never intended to build new ones", that is an assumption based on the age old question of "why would they?". They've made billions with out new ones so, why would they put more refined product on the market and cut into their PROFIT?
