Yeah, and see what happens when refineries have to start reducing their “carbon footprint”.

There will never be a new refinery built here or anywhere else "they' can't get 'turd world sheep to make petro products for $35/week instead of $35/hour.

The plan is to shut down all domestic and import from uber big and uber cheap refineries coming online in the Godforsaken wilderness.
