No but they kept them updated. Building new isn't really needed.

They could have been investing in new capital expenditures under Republican administrations. Why didn't they? What good does more oil from Canada through the Keystone pipeline do without the refiners to utilize it?Carpy wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 10:55 amRefineries need continuous reinvestment.
