You;re right - it's been close to 30 years since a new refinery came on
line - 1978 IIRC....
I'd like to see some new refineries with modern technology built (and some
nuclear power stations) but I fear we'll let the foreigners provide our oil
for the foreseeable future. I read a few years ago about the cost to build
something as innocuous as a warehouse built on land in Ca. already owned by
a company needed for expansion (and more jobs) - after spending over $1
million in fees and studies over a 10 year period, the company gave up.
Then they moved the whole operation to Idaho who welcomed them with open
arms.
A refinery doesn't have a chance --

Becuase a lubricity agent is added, I assume...
I don't believe any lubricity additive is necessary (even for use with
fuel lubricated distributor type pumps) IF they put back all they took
out when removing the sulfur (or they could modify the blend), but that
can't easily be done economically in many of the OLD facilities that
exist in the US. I don't think there has been a NEW refinery built in
the US in 25-30 years. The Europeans have been doing it for years. Their
facilities are far more modern than ours I'm told.
