They will contract out the hard stuff, they have the bucks to do it.

Figure on it to lower internal pressure on gas prices and rationing.

How pathetically sad that Iran is building refineries. Terrorism's best friend and enabler. I bet the Mullahs are laughing themselves silly while wishing death upon the USA. Nope, the greatest super power of the 20th century doesn't seem to have a clue that drilling and exploiting one's natural resources could have an impact on gas prices whereas gas rationing hasn't seem to have made much sense so now the Iranians are going to do something about it. I'm beginning to understand why reasoning skills are so lost on liberals. :roll: Every time I try to understand the maze of confusing policy programs and decisions that Dems have initiated and pushed on Americans over the years, I get lost in the irony.

If the global production increases the prices should eventually decline as pressures on demand ease. Until we bomb the Mad Mullahs back to the stone age of course, and the we are right back in the mess the Democrats in Congress have created over the past 30 years.

Even if the new refineries are going on line in Iran, that is still an increase in supply for the rest of the would, which should help ease the burden on US consumers, albeit indirectly. We plainly need more refineries anywhere we can get them at this point. Furthermore, no country making that kind of long term capital investment in the future is going to guarantee their destruction today by threatening to wage nuclear war or threatening their neighbors. The only thing that stands to be negatively impacted by this is Israel's self-serving pride. And as far as I'm concerned, Israel is no friend of the United States if they would so much as think about doing anything that would stifle the worldwide supply of oil and drive gasoline prices even higher.

Despite sanctions, Iran has continued to do business with Russia, China, France and Germany. Construction of new refineries will make it even more immune to international sanctions. In the 1950s, the refinery at Abadan, Iran, at the head of the Persian Gulf, was the largest in the world. Inexplicably, during the reign of the mullahs, it was allowed to deteriorate into a rusting hulk. Iran has tremendous oil and natural gas reserves.
