If the oil companies can’t utilize some of their mass, windfall profits to at least build additional refineries, we need to ‘redistribute’ their ill-gotten gains to the industrial base, and individual taxpayers, of this country to offset the damage. With extreme riches comes sizeable responsibilities.

With extreme riches comes sizeable responsibilities. It takes years to build a refinery. It takes years to get a permit to build a refinery. It takes years to fight a court battle with the environmentalists' "cease and desist" court orders in order to even start building a refinery. It takes years to fight the NIMBY crowds local government zoning edicts in order to even get a site to build a refinery.........We haven't built any refineries in the US in 30+ years. I wonder why?................

On % profit on investment every oil company should close down tomorrow,
What they make can’t justify their staying in business.
They are about 2% below minimum that I was taught in economics in college in the 50s.
