How much longer?

A bigger reason that new oil refineries aren't being built, as well as
nuclear waste facilities, is that no one wants one near his playground.
Everyone wants a new refinery in someone else's backyard.

Yep. A case in point was San Jose when the new Cisco plant went in.
Sure it caused brownouts, but when it came time for a new power plant,
the Cisco people in city planning argued that a power plant in their
backyard would ruin the view for the workers at the factory.

As a result of that and the Enron shenanigans, electricity rates in
Oregon went through the roof. And, by the way, haven't come down since.

Nevada keeps talking about burying the entire world's nuclear waste in
the Nevada test site where nothing lives and nobody goes, but California
NIMBYs don't want a nuke railroad running through their state.

Dofus you think all that methane is from dinosaur
farts?
Earth's loaded with "fossil fuels", but you don't
need to know that, because you'd rather be a
sucker.

A majority of people in Nevada absolutely do not want the Yucca
Mountain site to become active. They feel that the rest of the
country is trying to cram this thing down their throats, and they
resent it.

Absolutely correct, and Utah doesn't want that stuff going through its
state on the way to Nevada either. Save transportation costs and bury it
in Iowa.

Yeah, but they need a refinery first. but you know, ..."those who live
by the sword, die by the sword." But those evil environmentalists will
probably save him.
