isopatch, I represent one true refiner...And the profit margins are quite healthy from what I've seen. Liquid fuels are no different from power plants or drilling oil & gas wells- We have not done enough of any of them over the last 8-10 years as a nation.

We need to ask ourselves in the context of the national energy debate just what sort of economic and environmental future do we want for our grandchildren/great grandchildren...I pulled out a tin type picture of my great, great grandfather last night, taken in 1859. He fought as a Captain in a Missouri Infantry Regiment in the Union Army of the West in the Civil War.

His efforts and sacrifices made it possible for all of us to enjoy the country that the US has become. We face a similar, albeit less intense choice as a generation now- Where do we take the US now in terms of balancing energy and environmental policy?

We need to get on with the business of building our energy infrastructure if we intend to remain an economic superpower- yet their are costs. Let's make the hard choices....
