High oil prices are only part of the problem. We badly need more refinery capacity in this country. We import gasoline, not just oil, becuase we can't refine enough for our own use...

They've been trying to build a refinery in Yuma for some time now -- thought they were going to get their crude from PEMEX and now PEMEX says no, so they are trying to make a deal with Alberta to get crude from Canada, ship it down the coast in tankers and then run in a pipeline to Baja to the refinery -- and Mexico is right across the channel!
