Mr, If you will look around, you will find that a lot of refineries are being sold. I quess that big oil can't stand to make all that moeny. Actually, big oil can't stand all the damn paperwork and environmental polices. Just this year, a large refinery in West Texas was sold to a company in Israel. Before long, most of the US refineries will be owned by foreigners.

Sounds like CNBC can't add either. That would mean 425 of those large 2 million barrel VLCC's "sitting" out there. Not enroute as those are accounted for, sitting out there going in circles. I assume it was an ANALyst making such a ludicrous claim? "Something I heard on CNBC recently that there was 850mil barrels missing , think they meant it was on the water."

Beach Bum, The dirtiest city air-wise in the US is still Los Angeles and total air pollution in California still dwarfs any other state. We just studied those statistics at a seminar Thursday in Houston as provided by a Region VI EPA Representative from Dallas.... Don't believe any propaganda from Tiberius "you-know-who"....Always check his sources whether he is talking about air pollution , the cost of his dog's supply of Loprin, or how he did not know that the event at the Buddhist Temple in Socal was a "fundraiser", heh-heh... Economic growth is good- It is the basis of a strong environmental policy. No economy, no money- No money , no ability to enforce environmental restrictions...And the more advanced and energy intensive a society, then the less per capita pollution output, strangley enough.... but economic growth is good. The mistake was to lose 100,000 trained oilfield workers in 1998-1999 and do nothing about that....
