"What we need are more refineries. Oil's there. But if you can't make it into fuel oil or gasoline, what good is it?"

BINGO.

Pay thanks to GORE and crowd for that.

And guess what? Hurricane season starts in another month or so (June 1), and the same at risk refineries are still at risk.

Envirimemtalists like the members of the Sierra Club are just plain nuts. I saw a documentary on the building of the Golden Gate bridge. They tried to stop that. Their efforts can serve a good purpose, such as breaking development, but they really have no alternatives.

That'd be part of why we still don't. The refineries stopped being built under Carter...and none since.

I just read an investors report that stated that the refinery capacity that currently exists is more than likely all that will ever exist.

As in really "ever."

It was the informed opinion that no refineries will ever be built again, certainly not in this country, and in all probability, not in the entire world, although there may be an exception for the Peoples Army of China.

No business will touch it.
