Not such a win, win now is it?

Sooo...so would you agree that we do or don't need more refineries? Because if it really would take 10 more years, why put it off any longer to start building them?? And, with advancements in technology, I seriously doubt it's going to take 10 years to build another. If the last one was built in 1978, then yeah......we've come a long way in technology. We've had a lot of time to learn how to build them safer, faster, bigger, and better.
