He said increased refining capacity requires construc tion of new refineries, “yet none is currently under con struction in the U S.” He cited four major problems in hibiting the building of new refineries; Siting, compli cated by environmental op position, the sources and kinds of crude oil that can be run in refineries, petroleum product specifications, and the economics of refinery con struction.
