More diesel news; when it rains............
More diesels bound for US market. This sucks. Diesel is about 10 cents higher then regular around here. :) If every soccer mom in the US gets a diesel it will drive #2 up, up, up and out of sight. ...

Fracking is good and tested technology, been around for decades. Here's a thought. We have a bunch of oil refineries along the Gulf coast; what if there was a pipeline running from the Dakota's to say, maybe the Houston to New Orleans area?
Better idea. Lets build some new refineries in the US not affected by storms coming in from the Gulf of Mexico.
But, that is almost an exercise in futility. Aside from the one under construction now in North Dakota, there hasn't been a new refinery built in the US since 1973.
Saudi Arabia started trying to build a new refinery in the eastern US way back in the late 1980's, early 1990's. Never turned the first shovel of dirt, blocked at every move by endless regulation and study, which never ended so they finally gave up.
Same story right now near me in South Dakota. Company tried to get a new refinery going near Elk Point SD. Litigation, endless regulations and study later, still has not turned the first shovel of dirt.
