Real simple answer I think.

And you’re right, because when I want to escape the winter chill I never consider the Florida coast.

Because Texans are smarter.

Er…unless they own Valero (which the last time I checked, they don’t), they don’t have ownership of the DE City refinery area.

Only Iraq and Iran refused to sign the “middleman agreement”, which is why they have been targeted by the “american government” who work in collusion with the oil barrons”, (Bush/Cheney et al)…

Saddam Hussein “nationalized Iraqi oil”, in the early 60’s and in the 90’s threatened to go to euros, instead of selling oil in dollars”, he was attacked by Daddy Bush under a pretext of Kuwait.

Now the Iranians are threatening to to do the same thing, and they are threatened by Bush and the Zionists.

There is plenty of oil (as the Sauds are saying). This is nothing but a republican attempt to persuade the dumbed down sheeple, to believe we are in a crisis…and get the stupid people to vote to “drill now, and everywhere”. Its a crazy concept!

All drilling will do is put more oil on the world market, and we wont see a drop of it, for about 10-15 years. See what Lindsey Williams, a conversative baptist minister (who was invited to sit on the board of big oil) as Kissinger and the cabal working out of NY, put their 30 year plan together…the plan has worked perfectly for Wall Street banksters/gangsters. I urge you to google Lindsey Williams and hear what he has to say.

All of this is a ploy to bring more nukes to America, for the energy industrial complex, without any way to deal with the waste.

The Bush oil men are leaving office in less than 225 days…they know that Obama is going to win, and they must get the american people wrapped up in this hysteria, so they will be screaming for opening oil drilling everywhere. They want to line up even more of our wilderness areas…cuz they know when we go to Green energy…and really cut down on the need for feeding the energy industrial complex, they want the very last penny from americans at the pump. Dont swallow this garbage..think, think, and please listen to Mr. Williams and make a comment on his most interesting book…the Non Oil Crisis.

Here is a question: if Sauds have so much oil, why is Bush selling them nuclear power and technology?

Are the people in these areas petitioning Exxon to put a refinery in their area? Oil companies will have some criteria for new refineries and ease and low cost of getting crude there is going to be high on the list. Most of the places where oil companies want these refineries are coastal — but the biggest reason why there are no new refineries is more about the availability of a taxpayer subsidy to build one. For your Carbon Co residents, they’ll need to see Ed Rendell for that.

Hey listen, no matter how bad the job is, what the health risks, the environmental risks and the moral implications, we know that if you are poor you’d want this refinery in your backyard…

Vote GOP…wooohoooo

PS: and we would never take advantage of you (wink, wink)

from the guy who switched parties to vote for hillary b/c a radio host told him too

So you would be a liberal then right? B/C a statement like that is pretty funny coming from a person that supports Bush and does the things you do for the sake of the party

And all of you arguing for new refineries? Please write down your home addresses so we can tell Exxon of the neighborhoods that want them.

Jim Thorpe, in Carbon County, Pennsylvania.

Carbon County is a poor county, with higher unemployment and lower wages than average. A few hundred good jobs building and operating a refinery would increase the wealth of people living here.

How about Owsley County, Kentucky, one of the poorest counties in America? You think that they’d turn away a refinery, and the high-paying jobs it would bring, so they can keep looking at each other’s tar-paper shacks without having an unsightly refinery spoiling the view?

It’s real easy for people who already have what they see as good, secure jobs to trash ideas that would provide good jobs for other people.

And all of you arguing for new refineries? Please write down your home addresses so we can tell Exxon of the neighborhoods that want them.

Do you know why no one is building new ones, donVD?

“dom? are you a republican shill?”

Dom raises fair questions and receives a typical donVD response. When he cannot answer reasonable questions he resorts to the old playbook.

donVD, why don’t you at least attempt to answer Dom’s questions? Or, are you going to resort back to the playbook? “Yawn.”

Let’s face facts, people: we have to have oil. We can pay Americans for it, or we can pay foreigners for it. Now, would you rather have your hard-earned dollars circulating through the American economy, or enriching foreign companies and countries?

Might we need more refineries? Maybe. If that’s the case, then build them! That would mean more good jobs for Americans, in building and then operating the refineries.
