i agree completely, here in md i've got little choice with concern to refining issues though. much of the former capacity has been condemned and then bought (wink, wink) by local connected folk. some of it is currently being rehabilitated for free from the EPA's 'superfund'. one example was formerly owned by exxon and located just outside of canton, 3 or 4 miles from baltimore's inner harbor
Well as a Texan I can tell you our refineries are running at full capacity day in and day out. This is extrememly dangerous. But, do you think the politicos care? NOOOOOO. But let one of them go off line because of an explosion and the feds will be crawling all over the place.
