Once again, the issue is not refineries. It's sanctions and war.
Some of our refineries are built for thick and heavy Venezuelan oil. Well we embargoed Venezuela many years ago now, and seized all their US assets, for no good reason and plenty of bad ones as far as I'm concerned.
We continued using those refineries by importing Russian oil, which is also thick and heavy.
So now we proceed to ban Russian oil. And seize their financial assets, proving to the world how "safe" US banking is (sarcasm).
So now we've banned them both, and we have existing refineries we can't use to capacity, and there's this talk about building new refineries when we should be moving off fossil fuels.
