Stupid short term thinking. Americans get screwed again. USA should be increasing the refining capability to handle light sweet instead of shipping it overseas. What a crock. Since when does removing a glut lower prices. BS.

We already refine more than we use. We export those excess products.

But building new refineries takes years and is blocked at every step required.

Increasing refining capability to handle sweet light is a great idea, but why not do both?
