South Dakota voters approved constuction of a new refinery to refine 400,000 barrels of Canada crude / day.
Will employ1800 people and 4000 consruction jobs.
First new refinery in US in 30 years. Will take 4 years to complete.

At least it's a long over due start.

Cape rentals are doing very well. Kids are still in school, and people are cutting down their weekend excursions, but once they take their 1-2 week summer vacations, Scenic Highway will once again be a two-way parking lot every Saturday afternoon.

$4.48 here for reg....Diesel is 4.99 and that is at the street. Who knows what the dock price is... Talk is now $6.00/gal this summer. 5 will be a "bargain".

Domestic supply has to increase...when will they learn.


Price of crude went up 16% THIS WEEK! World wide demand certainly has not increased that much this week. There is a lot of speculation going on, guys that shorted at 100 and are not covering at 135. IMO it will fall back to 80-100 within 6 months BUT at the CURRENT futures price HOME HEATING OIL will be close to 5 bucks per gallon this fall....people are going to freeze their ass off this winter, you watch.

Agree 100%. Wrote to my Senators and Congressman. Only one answered my letter. "He's been to Anwar and it is too pristine to drill."
Ya well good for him, he's one of the few who could afford it, with the price of gas who else can afford to go.

I'm all for conservation, but we need help until altrenative energy fills the breech,
not so much to drive, but to keep the economy going and people warm.

Never have so few kept so many hostage.
That goes for the seal population too.

I remember in high school I could buy a pack of smokes for under 5bucks and gas wasnt even $2.00 a gal

on the ride home I started thinking...I'm never gonna be able to afford to enjoy the boat I just bought, to much gas $$$

I saw bush this am on a "morning joe" clip, talking about the prices of gas and how his economic stimulus program is gonna help us with the price of fuel.....yeah right
