Ursa Majoris Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 You mean that thing that basically everyone on both sides of the political fence engage in? As I said before, nobody wants those things in their backyard. Nobody. If he'd bothered to look at the link to Jeb Bush and his successful persuasion of Brother George to not allow drilling in Florida waters, he'd know this.

True. But Dmarc doesn't know what to do with facts any more than a sea bass knows what to do with a rubik's cube.

AtomicCEO Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 so why werent the refineries being built for the last 20 years? Why don't we just print more money so everyone gets richer? now youre cookin with gas There was a subtle metaphorical connection between your question and mine. I've grown tired of pointing out that you are wrong. I want to teach you how to think critically. If you figure out the similarity... then you will expand your mind to the level of "poseur".

dmarc117 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) Did you solve the riddle yet? your notion that big oil didnt build more refineries so they could charge more is poppycock Edited May 24, 2007 by dmarc117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) your notion that big oil didnt build more refineries so they could charge more is poppycock Specifically... are you challenging the notion that having less refined gas makes gas cost more, resulting in higher profits? Or are you challenging the idea that Big Oil isn't operating at the capacity they could by investing a slightly larger portion of their massive profits in refineries? I mean... it makes pretty good business sense... why spend money on something which will ultimately cost you profits? I totally understand the motivation to do it... but you say that it isn't true. Why do you think they aren't building refineries again? Think it out. Bounce an idea off me, and I'll give it critical analysis.

wiegie Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 San Francisco Chronicle? (And and 2+ year old article at that). Actually, I more concerned about the objectivity of the author. I did a quick look into his research and he seems to be a bit of an ideologue. (For example, I just found this paper which the same guy authored and it is not mainstream economic analysis at all (and, in fact, seems to be a bunch of nonsense).)

I think they aren't building refineries because they realize that fossil fuel is a finite resource. They also do not want the United States to be dependent on foreign oil. Quietly, behind the scenes, I bet most of their profits go into developing solar energy, biodiesel, and the power of butterfly wings. I am ready for the pebble now.
