Iran is simply trying to remedy the main weakness of their oil industry, which was that they had to send their oil out of country to be refined before exporting it for sale. I hate to say this but at least they’re taking steps to solve their problem. Unlike here where the special interest groups like the Sierra Club and other similar organizations are doing everything they can to block construction of new refineries and other energy generating sites. Environmentalists for all their perceived good intentions lack the vision needed for a better America.

I’d like to hang environmentalists, too. As I’ve said before, let the free market reign. Every other solution has failed and will fail in the future, as well. It’s so simple and easy…

The awful thing about all this is that all it would take to bring down the mullahs would be to knock out their one working refinery.

Within weeks the economy would collapse and with it the mulla regime.

All for the price of a missile or two.

A couple of American warships off the coast to protect the shipping lanes and it would be a done deal.

Oh well.

Muffed it again.

Let’s not forget the democrats push to import refined gasoline in the ’90’s under the guise of eliminating the need for more refineries. I don’t know how good your archive engines are SG, but 7 refineries for Iran does not sound like they’re just for domestic consumption.
