Ok, If this is true

"A new refinery can cost close to $ 21, 000 per barrel of installed capacity" then

a 300,00 per day refinery is 6.3 trillion dollars OR the same amount the US spent on the great society. Also keep in mind that our debt is around 8 trillion.

So the numbers are not adding up again.. There is no way that any refinery costs anywhere close to that number.

That would be 6.3 billion, not trillion.
