Irrelevant when Refineries can't get permits to be expanded or even built. Also Keystone.

we're all in for a hell of a shock if this happens considering ISIS is starting to take over oil facilities in Iraq.

Do we have a shortage of refining capacity?
Also, what motivation would any group have to shut down a source of revenue like that? Are we expecting some kind of boycott?

He has been in office for six years, four of those years he had a rubber stamp to pass anything he wanted. He could have done more to decrease oil, but that goes against his ideology to skyrocket gas and energy prices to somehow magically produce unicorn farts to run cars.

Is this when we can point to Keystone and say I told you so?

I don't think we have a shortage, but seasonal down time keeps us at capacity

Nice use of a gross over-simplification to make yourself look like an uninformed simpleton.

I thought is was the case that refining capacity isn't really a problem right now under normal circumstances.

that not going to make that much of an effect on the price at the pump

I think you just officially broke the "Full of shite" gauge.

What do you do for a living that allows you to make that statement as fact?
Now granted, I may be biased. I get to whore myself out to the highest bidder, so when oil prices go up, so do my rates.

This seems like an article that's intended to be shocking and dramatic enough to sell subscriptions and generate website hits by focusing on a possible, but unlikely scenario.
A series of hurricanes can hit Houston, Baton Rouge, and Lake Charles this year and impact prices at the pump as well. A lot of things can.

Lolwut? I worked at a small service company and it added about $600k to our annual budget. This was a company of 60 employees. You don't think that extrapolated over the entire industry is going to raise prices?
