Tribe Refinery and the Path To Lower Gas Prices

I hear plenty of carping about gas prices every time they take a bump up and I understand completely understand why.  

Obama’s new EPA regs are a big part of the problem and the only reason they’re this low is that the economy is still in the dumps. But if Oregonians really see this as a problem, let’s do something about it.  

Let’s build a new oil refinery in the state. Coos Bay is a deep water port that can take tankers from Alaska. There’s so much oil up north that we sell a lot of it to Japan.  Oregon needs the business and the jobs. And having a state of the art gasoline producer here would help even out the big swings in price. Critics are right that the bunny huggers will try to stop this in the courts but there’s a way around that.  

Let’s work in concert with the Indian Tribes on the South Coast.  Build it on land they own…even if you have to deed over part of the Port to them and we can dispense with a lot of that sue it to stop it nonsense.  

It won’t be done for years but with all the new oil discoveries we’re not likely to stop using petroleum for fifty years and when the economy recovers under a new President we’ll need to produce like maniacs to keep the price from spiking above five bucks.
