Isn't it time to stop beating this dead horse? The guys who own and
operate refineries are reluctant to invest in new refining capacity.
Maybe the home would let you out so you could explain to them that they
know not of what they speak.

Agreed but what is the cost of that study compared to the
multi-billion dollar cost of the refinery? Less than 1%. My point
is not that there are no obstacles to constructing a new refinery but
rather that those obstacles are not the reason that new refineries
have not been built.
