With the sale price of the Lima refinery at about $1.5 bn, this expansion can be easily financed:

The share repurchase program is just enormous. The biggest and most effective program of which I am aware. Awesome, truly awesome. Not like the funky smoke and mirrors crap the high tech boys engage in, which doesn't reduce the number of outstanding shares.

The problem, of course, is hurricane-proofing the Port Arthur and St. Charles Parish refineries. And that is a serious problem. Can't be done, I don't think.

I think I can see the St. Chuck facility from my rooftop perch as we speak.
