YES, especially the capacity to refine heavier grades.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Of course we need new refineries.  We need both!  We are currently sending our oil to Canada for refinement.  If the Dems would stand up and stop bending over for the environmentalist, perhaps we could get our country back on track!

Answer 7

I hope Obama wins

Answer 8

we should be moving towards the post-oil era. More trains and public transit like the rest of the industrial world.

Answer 9

Correct there is already a backlog of oil supplies awaiting to be refined. Oil Refinery in this country haven't been built out our manipulation for the purpose of price gauging. In addition; why are the consumers in California ask to change their fuel type from summer to winter grade? Does that make since?

Furthermore; ask why the Oil Companies aren't already drilling on the 80% government leased land. Supposedly its less than 40% being tapped into. Opening more government land for drilling is a "Red-herring"; and ill pandering tactic utilized during our election year. Do the research?
