The last refinery built in the US was in 1976.And whick party is responsible for our finite refining capacity? You are aware that oil companies want to build bigger, better, safer, more efficient refineries don't you? Who keeps holding them up? The same people who oppose building the pipeline. The same people who think they can power their cars on sunlight and wind. The Democrats.
It seems that you do not understand the economics of supply and demand. You REALLY think the oil corps cannot build more refining capacity? If there is more refined gasoline available to the American public the price at the pump would drop accordingly along with the profits to the oil corps. You REALLY think that with all of the clout of the current profit of big oil that they could not lobby for places to build refineries? Blaming high gas prices on any one political party is beyond ignorant.
So much for that all-powerful Big Oil lobby.
So, you think that the refinery must be located in the US in order to be profitable to Big Oil lobbyists?
You sure you wanna go with that?
