One idea: If you've ever driven past Gary, Indiana, you would see mile

stink to holy heaven when I was a boy). That would be a perfect location
for a new refinery or ten.

Erm, there's a reason why all the oil refineries are in places like
Houston and Beaumont, and not in the mid-West.

It would be nice if our supposed "oil president" would issue an executive
order mandating construction of new refineries, pronto -- environmental
restrictions be damned.

Ah. Rape, pillage, poison the earth! And of course, cause premature
death to anyone living downwind.
