The good news is that the new refinery would bring the input capacity back up to the peak level, in 1982.
What I can't figure out is why no one talks about the 150 refineries shutdown after Reagan's election....

Those refiners were closed down because they could not be brought up to the clean air standards enviromentalists pushed thru, or even brought close to them. Just as most of those operating today should be closed for the same reason.
