Does anyone know how hard it would be to get the closed refineries back up and running? Is it a matter of only pushing a few buttons? Are they so outdated the EPA will have a burr in their *** and say it'll take years and millions of dollars to get them up to date and working? I'm sitting here wondering if they are in good condition and still useable. We really stuck ourselves for closing them down. I have also read numerous times about how we export a lot of our own oil from Alaska to other countries. Do you think it's time that we start to take care of ourselves? I heard on the radio this morning that Venezuala has offered us discounted prices on a barrel of oil. If this is the case I think we should take them up on it. Any other thoughts?
