good Lord do you purposely misunderstand????

[thackney]

I'm looking at the words you wrote. If you meant something else, you will have to put that to words.

You started with:

nop company can get a permit to get to the stuff

That is false, we are producing both gas and oil this way from shale and have been for a few years in several locations.

Then you said:

Moreover this country has not built processing plants to increase capacity in ages.

Also false, we have been building gas processing and refinery process units and expanding our capacity for decades. Not a new grass roots refinery but the more cost effect expansion of existing refineries.

You also said:

my comment about oil part of shale was in response to statistics about natural gas portions of shale.

I still cannot decipher what you were trying to say there.

You had stated that the refinery growth had flattened out and also complained that we were exporting products. Which one do you want? We refine more than we use, but you believe we should keep expanding, but not export the excess? How would that work?
