Still more? - Build a REFINERY right here. - They are going to be built in China right now, you nitwits!

It is my understanding the Chinese will start construction on 15 refineries this year alone. Not one of them will conform to U.S. Clean Air Act requirements, but of course they don't care. The Algore maniacs never go after China because they have the correct form of government. Meanwhile, we haven't built a single refinery in 30 years.

You should acknowledge that refining capacity has increased through expansions of existing refineries. However, refinery expansions have not kept pace with the demand for gasoline and the demands for gasoline blends. Hence we are importing gasoline as well as crude oil.

A new refinery will be built in South Dakota. It should be complete in 9 to 12 months. However, it will not be operational for about 2 years due to the need to complete a pipeline from Canada to crude from their new oil discovery.
