According to EIA, TOTAL refining COSTS & PROFITS amount to less than 20% a gallon.

Now if you are smarter than the EIA and know something they don’t;
please share your wisdom with us all.

BINGO! Two problems:

1) Supply and Demand, India and China
2) Refinery capacity

How do you solve these two problems? Build competing energy products and vehicles. Competing products is happening faster then most people think because we are in the information age and major investors are linking in smaller investors to create this new market. Government can further help but won’t, too many conflicting interests.
