First Refinery in Years to be Built in Texas

Think it might have something to do with the Trump Administration’s effort to boost the renewable and petroleum industry?

The proposed multibillion-dollar investment would include an ethane steam cracker capable of producing nearly 2 million tons of ethylene a year. If built, the project would create 600 full-time jobs, 3,500 indirect jobs and support thousands more jobs during the construction phase. It also is expected to generate more than $22 billion in economic output during the construction phase and more than $50 billion in economic output during the first six years of operations.

The article is basically to complain how Louisiana laws and economic climate cause them to lost to Texas. Story @ South Texas to get America’s largest new refinery since ‘77

Who will pay for it? Why the unsubstantial people of course. Who will gain? Not them.

You didn't bother to read the OP did you?

good news but I suspect that this is more a change in foreign policy than environmental policy

Russia is highly dependent on oil revenues

So is Iran.

China is putting off shore rigs in the South China Sea

And North Korea is highly dependent on coal exports.

At current prices making easy money in the energy market is an oxymoron

I'm still waiting for Kemper to get up and running....now THAT would be worthy of a news blurb on new construction, trumpeted throughout a sub-forum in a blog forum..yes....such is the importance!

There is some talk about an environmental study that might have been done a few years ago 5 miles down the road from the chosen site, but to date, Raven Petroleum has not provided any information about the environmental impact studies, economic feasibility reports, or permit application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to reference, leaving many unanswered questions.
You'll see similar reports pop up about some new refinery or plant proposal, all the time, but so far, they seem to just disappear after accepting all the investor money available.

No new refineries have been built in quite a while. It's generally cheaper to expand existing facilities.
