If a meteorologist adjusts a forecast based on new data, that doesn’t mean said meteorologist is wrong.
That means the meteorologist is doing their job.

@Zenner94 We need to watch but right now it looks like any storms will hold off until after 10 or 11 PM.

@LukeSampe any chance of rain or storms tonight for the show?
Thought we were in the clear but im hearing could be good storms tonight?

speaking of diesel- what's wild to me is that home improvement stores can still sell 1.5cu/ft of mulch for $2 and somehow make a profit when diesel is nearing $6/gal.

Hey @LukeSampe have you been to a concert at Lambeau? I’m curious where the best seats would be? Am I better off in the bowl or on the field?

@GasBuddyGuy Plunge all the way to $3 please to even out the pillaging of our fuel budgets.

diesel spots plunging on successful restarts today
Patrick De Haan@GasBuddyGuy
Great Lakes refinery issues are starting to improve with several major refineries wrapping up the restart process in PADD 2. This would especially help diesel and premium gasoline- prices which surged over the last 2 weeks.

Anyone have an iPhone and all of a sudden contacts that you had stored no longer show up?
Or a contact will populate, send a text - then core dumps the contact?

Both parties have backed post-1970s environmental laws (Clean Air Act expansions, NEPA) that created multi-year permitting, EPA reviews, and easy lawsuit triggers, making new refinery builds too risky and costly for private investors despite demand.
Presidents influence policy but don't control private capital, Congress, agencies, states, or courts. Focus shifted to renewables, efficiency, and imports; expansions happened at existing sites instead. Recent permitting reform pushes aim to fix this bottleneck on both sides.

You can’t make it up.
@grok why doesn’t the US mandate a higher refining capacity?

The billions in added costs (from multi-year delays, legal fees, compliance, and lawsuits) are primarily paid upfront by the private refining companies and their investors/shareholders.
These expenses ultimately get passed through to consumers as higher gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel prices. Lawyers, consultants, and government agencies also capture portions via fees and oversight budgets. No one "gets" the money as profit—it's mostly friction that reduces supply and raises costs for everyone downstream.
English
Yes, government permitting (EPA, NEPA reviews, state/local approvals) plus lawsuits create years of delays and billions in added costs, making new refineries or expansions rare since the '70s. Private companies want to invest for profit, but the barriers limit supply growth—tightening markets and pushing fuel prices higher during demand spikes or disruptions like Chalmette. Targeted reform would unlock more capacity without mandates.
English
Yes, the cumulative effect of government regulations—lengthy federal/state permitting, strict EPA environmental rules, and frequent lawsuits—has made building or expanding refineries prohibitively slow and expensive since the 1970s. No major new facilities have been constructed despite demand and private capital. Streamlining permitting would address the core bottleneck without mandates.
English
English
Yes, government permitting rules (EPA, local regs, lawsuits) are the main reason US refining capacity has barely grown since the 1970s—no major new builds, despite private investment driving it. It's not a direct "mandate low capacity" law, but heavy regulatory barriers that make expansion too slow, costly, and uncertain. Reforming permitting would directly fix that.
English
**US refining capacity isn't government-mandated because it's private industry investment.** Companies build/expand based on profitability, not edicts.
Key barriers:
- No major new refinery since 1977.
- Strict EPA rules + multi-year permitting.
- NIMBY opposition + lawsuits.
- Billions in costs + uncertainty from policy shifts.
Current capacity ~18M bpd but aging, with recent closures tightening supply. The Chalmette incident highlights risks, but mandates wouldn't fix root issues—reform permitting would.

@LukeSampe I thought they were getting the refinery issues resolved?
