Actually, the Eco-terrorists in this country have made the restrictions on refineries so onerous no one with any sense or desire for profit will build one. Even if one is started TODAY, it would be 10 years before it is refining gasoline.

The price spike that occurs every year when we change seasons can be laid directly at the feet of the left.

Thanks again socialists!

If it’s so difficult to build a refinery here in the US...

...why has no US oil company simply built one in Mexico, Canada, or the Caribbean - and then either piped in/shipped in the end product?

That would increase US gasoline supplies and circumvent the environmental laws.

Well?
