@arraya I think some politicians are trying to avoid something a little bigger. Refinement is not really an issue, they have been running like 89% capacity for the past year.
Wrong. We are importing gasoline due to lack of refining capacity. Notice that the numbers increase as you move up in years, starts at Aug 1982.
We are so close to the peak now that quibbles about the numbers cited here do not matter. My familiarity with the oil industry justifies many of the “hidden assumptions” I’ve made and did not have time to discuss.
Convenient technique.. but also wrong. So you attempt to avoid justifying your statements by saying “I’m an expert, so much so that I don’t feel a need to explain to you peons”.. nice.
