PUERTO RICO is screaming to have a refinery built. They can use the business, and supertankers can transport product a hell of a lot easier than what you would believe. Look at the TINY island of ARUBA and it's giant refinery.
Environmental Laws and NOT IN OUR BACKYARD are pretexts. The entire gulf coast population wishes to have refineries built. Jobs, and ancillary services.
You have to actually GO TO these places and ask the people. You don't take surveys in Manhattan and Malibu Beach, "Do You Want A Refinery?".
It's a CON GAME. At the moment, USA frackturing oil producers are bribing I mean lobbying like hell to get their product exported to China before Australian fracking comes on line.
Sell all the oil to China, turn pockets inside out and wail "See! There Really Is A USA Crude Oil Shortage!"
