The only problem with that argument, Madman, is that we ARE limited in capacity.

They haven't built a new refinery in 30 years due to environmental whackos and NIMBY types.

Existing refineries were all operating at about 98% of full capacity round the clock (except when they would go down for maintenance).

We've just lost something like 20% of our total refining capacity due to the hurricane. Nobody knows when it might get running again - or if the whackos will LET them get running again.

If Bush would declare a national emergency and suspend enviro-laws so we could build 15 or 20 new refineries, and also allow development of Alaskan oil, we'd be fine in a year or so. Will he? I doubt it. So much for the idea that Bush's main goal is to support the oil industry.
