Lignite is peat with an attitude.

Refinery expansion - not in California, of course.

Infrastructure defict -

Any greenfield refineries build since 1980s
Only one major airport (Denver) built in 25 years.
No new bridges across Mississppi
Much less Highway construction

You're right, it is petrified wood iow young coal a long way from becoming antracite or anything of a high caloric value. Eastern Germany - ie Saxony, under the seat pants of my fellow Slaves, the Sorbs - is literally swimming on lignite (I assume it's the remnants of warmer periods, that got covered later by glaciers) , so you have miles and miles of open pits, villages being eaten up etc...
