Ronald Stein + 23 October 29, 2018 The two prime movers that have done more for the cause of globalization than any other: the diesel engine and the jet turbine, both get their fuels from oil. Without transportation – there is no commerce. The primary economic reasons refineries even exist is to manufacture the aviation, diesel, and gasoline fuels for our military and transportation industries nationwide. There are no economic reasons JUST to manufacture the chemicals and by-products from crude oil that are the basis of 6,000 products from petroleum that are part of every infrastructure and virtually everything in our daily and leisurely lifestyles. http://www.cfact.org/2018/10/26/refineries-are-the-mvps-of-the-economy/ Refineries are the MVP’s of the economy.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
