This will prove to be the WRONG move for all the crude and gas transporter/refiners. Not only are more hurricanes brewing that will force
temporary shutdowns of refineries on the coast, but we could suddenly be thrust into a new war in the Middle East that will demand a sudden
draw on the Strategic Reserves and the refining capacity along the coast…which would result in $6/gallon gas and $8/gallon diesel prices with selected area shortages.
I think we’d be better off to build MORE refineries in the Delaware basin
and both NGL and crude oil take away pipelines to all three coasts of the
USA.
I think the current planning will force a hardship and emergency conditions on the economy if the Middle East suddenly blows up.
JMHO…
