Gas Prices Soaring Nationwide

Naw, I can't help a dumb fuck, Dumb fuck.

For those not paying close attention, I asked Todd what I wrote that was not accurate, and this is his answer.  I'll let others decide who's being honest.

Okay! You, Boiler, are NOT being honest! Every time you're called out on your nonsense, you weasel and start babbling about "sweet" and "sour" crude oil. You claim to be an expert in the field--what a joke!--but you seem not to know that we can refine either kind. The terms refer to the sulfur content of the oil. No finished petroleum products contain sulfur, so it must be removed as part of the refining process. This makes low-sulfur petroleum ("sweet") less expensive to refine, and it commands a higher price on world markets.

However, that does NOT mean that "sour" crude cannot be refined at all.

Here's what's actually happening. Sour crude is best refined into "heavy" products, such as diesel and heating oil, which are used for heat and power generation. Alternative energy sources are slowly taking over that market. This has further driven down the price of "sour" crude.

But does that mean that we couldn't step up our refining of "sour" crude to make up for some hypothetical shortfall? No! It's simply that the cheaper alternatives are chosen first. We import "sweet" crude rather than refine our stockpiles of "sour" crude. But if there's a zombie apocalypse or something? We can easily switch to the latter.

I mean, Jesus, ten minutes of research, and I know more than Boiler the Fossil Fuel Expert on this subject.

I can only get about one or two sentences into Kevin's posts until I stop readying.  Kevin tells me that because sour crude has high sulfer content, that this doesn't mean that it can't be refined.

I'VE ONLY POSTED A HUNDRED TIMES THAT WE IMPORT SOUR CRUDE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MOST US REFINERIES ARE BUILT AND DESIGNED TO RUN.  WE EXPORT SUITE CRUDE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH REFINING CAPACITY TO REFINE THIS GRADE OF CRUDE OIL.

WHY IS THIS CONCEPT SO DIFFICULT FOR LIBERALS TO UNDERSTAND.  IN ONE EAR AND OTHER THE OTHER, WITH NOTHING INBETWEEN TO SLOW IT DOWN.

Wrong, idiot. Have your broke son read it to you, as your home schooling failed you.

"Todd will once again not tell us what he disagrees with regarding I typed. Prove me wrong, Todd."

Boiler, the Fossil Fuel Expert, doesn't understand the difference between "can't" and "not currently configured for."

And then he argues against what I wrote--without reading it.

What an idiot.

I've never claimed to be an oil and gas expert.  I just know more than most folks, and way more than our resident Liberals.

Regarding your comment about the difference in "can't" and "not currently configured for", I assume that your addressing my comment about the US not have the capability to process all the sweet crude that we produce.  I'm not certain, as I'm confident that I never typed "not currently configured for", as Kevin typed.

Either way, no refiner is going to spend billions of dollars to build a sweet crude refinery, and no refiner is going to turn a sour crude plant into a sweet crude plant.  It's too much money with no future, especially because of Sleepy and friends.

Stupid Sleepy for some time was telling America that he was going to keep US oil producers from exporting oil.  When he did this, I pointed out the stupidity on this site  We could keep this sweet crude at home until the tanks overflowed, but we couldn't refine all of it.  Sleepy suddenly went radio silent once someone smart explained the facts.

I'm smart enough to know oil production is measured in BPD...not rig counts ....or words in a Joe Biden speech.

Future production is mostly about drilling.  Current production can be stimulated by fracking more often and acidizing wells, but in the long run it's all about drilling..... and we ain't drilling.
