He explained why these new refineries are not being built.

@waynek805 I wrote this in another post: There will be a huge impact of solar & wind farms, grid storage batteries and pumped hydro storage to produce electricity, not to mention the introduction of hydrogen for trains, ships and industry (the only eco fuel that can replace fossil fuels for industry) by nitrogen cooled nuclear reactors. These innovations will mean many oil refineries will close. Only the best crude that is cheaper to extract and cheaper to refine will survive for: lubricants, medical and plastic and other products.

@engelag The world is moving to solar, wind and grid storage batteries. Hydrogen produced by wind/solar or high temp nitrogen reactors, will be used for industry - and trains and ships. Most oil is used for burning. That will end.

@waynek805 You lack knowledge and understanding. Not worth going any further with the likes of you as becomes circular.

The East and West coast states are the wealthier states who would be greatly implicated. They will not like that, and they are also mainly Democrats by tradition. I see turmoil.
