@cnbc: White House energy advisor Jarrod Agen told CNBC's Morgan Brennan that the U.S. needs to increase refining capacity as domestic refineries operate near full capacity and outages abroad tighten global #fuel markets. Watch more at the #linkinbio or the link on screen. #CNBC

12neig :

thanks to Biden and Obama for closing all of our refineries

CountryStrongTexas :

You can build refineries in the US to process our own crude instead of shipping light crude overseas and importing heavy crude. Its all a shell game.

P.S.330 :

It’s all about oil companies screwing us. They’re posting record profits and we’re suffering

obigooba :

We need to move away from fossil fuels and diversify our energy sources so we aren't so reliable on oil

Abe Froman :

refinery operator here. yes we are all operating at 100% capacity. normally we only produce at 80%. but no, they arent doing a single thing to boost production. we need more pipelines and we need less regulation so that we can build more refineries.

🌊 Kris :

We need more refineries

Mack :

Odd that the last full scale refinery was built back in 1977. The population gets larger yearly therefore we use more fuel. Just doesn’t math out. We must do a lot better job in planning. Environmental and all the restrictions must change. We can accomplish all build and refine and protect the environment. Oil isn’t going anyway.

SuperG1316 :

We just closed some in California

KnockoutHG :

they shutdown 2 in cali because the states policies

mrhill350 :

Companies control size of refineries, not the government

wesavedtherepublic :

so build REFINERIES.....get it done!

Chainscope Signals :

The energy problem is much more serious than people are treating it

Tex :

There are refineries ready to be built but they are stuck in the permitting process for years. These could have be built a decade ago and it would be a non issue.

Chris :

We have had quite a few refinery fires over the last 5 years or so

AA :

Lies

rich jegar :

So why doesn't anyone in the middle east talk about refining while they pay penny's for gas???? We supposedly have more oils than anywhere on earth.You people have to open your eyes.ITS ALL ABOUT FLEECING THE CONSUMER FOR MASIVE PROFITS?

rbenardtc :

we are running max throughput 24/7 365

Bobby_B_Running :

We aren’t refining lean oil. We need that to make more fuel/gas. Instead corporations export about it cheaper.

gawtdamn1 :

EXACTLY. Dems placed massive regulations on refineries that forced them to close.

gsabpaso :

Wholly company based decisions

giveitonemore :

Tom Theodosiades :

Refinery capacity has decreased with every corporate merger and acquisition since the 80s. Like everything else wrong in America, it all goes back to Reagan…

AA :

user1999656130067 :

Democrats know exactly what they are doing 😡 Destroying America 1 day at a time 😡😡

Dickie Neal :

So, quit selling gas and diesel to foreign countries. Do away with the jones act waiver.
