A damn shame it's been 50 years.


Marathon in Louisiana was the last one built from ground up. But a bunch have had major upgrades over the years. So 50 years from ground up, but not really long for massive expansion

It’s not really the last one it’s just the last one over 135,500 b/cd. There have been others built.

Oh look, John Bell and Courmouche have the current business climate in Louisiana losing more businesses to Texas.

Such a shithole state

Have you ever seen a refinery? The dots work in call centers, not refineries.


I’m in the oilfield and you’d be surprised how many of them are now in oil and gas. Chevron is currently pushing a huge amount of their engineers to India.

Ok this is great and all but can someone explain to me how a fricking refinery cost $300 billion dollars??? That has to be a misprint. That’s more that a majority of most nations GDP.

Next up, upgrade and protect the power grid.


Yep we need a new Nuclear Reactor site in every state. We should be building 50 new ones. 50 new nuke plants across the country would be a game changer. Make them all the same with the exact same design. Would cut down on costs because parts could be reused between all sites. Could unify a training pipeline of operators that could then go work at any of the new plants in any state.

bull. I wish Trump and other politicians would drop promoting "American jobs" when they know it'll be imported workers. Such a slap in the face.

This is going to be a new and improved refinery, not the ones you are used to being around that are all 50+ years old. And I assure you this Indian company has it completely designed around the ability to staff it with as many benchods as possible.


So instead of it smelling like rotten eggs when you pass by it, it will smell like curry.
