We can’t just build more refineries and nukes cause there is a massive shortage of petroleum and nuclear engineers in the USA. All you freaking Harvard smarty pants want to work your 80 hours a week on Wall St performing the backbreaking spreadsheet analysis to figure how much you can steal from the shareholders and factory workers while you pathetic geeks from CalTech, Berkeley,etc want to slave 80 hours a week to make your shiny now Facecrap app and new shiny little new smartphones. Shove that phone and that spreadsheet you know where. Smart people used to build things in this country, now all they want to do is play with their micro keyboards. China can build a 1000 mile train tracks up mountains in a few years and we cant build 5 lousy bridges on I-15 in two years. Now we’re going to have to import H1B from France, China, India to work on real projects.
BTW, Exxon, et. al also refuse to build refineries because of typically low profit margins.
