Have very many oil refineries in Florida when you were a kid?

To the best of my knowledge, we have built no new refineries in over 30 years, and those we have are running at near max capacity. Anything that effects that flow of fuel makes a big diffrence at the pump. And stations now react to shift in prices as they happen, instead of waiting till it hits them. Info moves much faster now, than when you were a kid. They no longer have to wait for the latest carier pigon to arrive.

Just seems a little odd that in any business you would want to name, one that was experiencing growth and guaranteed demand like fuel has, that no efforts have been made in over 30 years to build more refineries. ????? Name a business that sits on its hands like the oil industry.

You can't even build a freaking pipeline (Keystone ring a bell) without people going apeschittt over some hypothetical crap.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Thing is, they all use gas/electricity/LP etc, etc Guess it is just magically supposed to get where it needs to be for use??

all they had left today at the Murphy Oil station, was a little bit of High Test at $3.24 a gallon. This is in North Central Florida, a WEEK before Irma is supposed to show up. God help us all. Local Publix grocery was out of bread, beer, canned meat and veggies.

The expansion of our former Port Arthur refinery was fully the equivalent of building a new refinery given we added 350kbbl/day capacity. Just had to be a bit sneaky about it.

That was my thought too.
Of course this whole anti-Confederate thing is just an attack on "Whiteness" in general. I woulda termed it an attack on Whites per se except it is my understanding that most of the Student Democrat club pushing for it are also White.
