Here's an interesting story relative to refineries and the technology they use: In 1998 I was RIFF'ed out of a position. I was searching for something new and got a call from a fellow I knew at Waukesha Engine, in where else, but Waukesha, WI. Seems that Waukesha has a obscure little division

Whow, what a thing of beauty that must have been back in 1906. Follows my point exactly. The refinery business is in the dark ages, has been kept in the dark ages, and EPA and others will not embrace anything new and approved because getting anything approved means running a gauntlet through

There's that fallacy again - it's not our oil. It's the oil company's, and they'll do with it what they like, sell it where they like, and buy crude where they like. Unless we nationalize oil (Saudi Arabia and Venezuela), it's not ours to claim. The oil companies have no national interests -
