TopicBuild a New Refinery
ContentIt appears that one of the things hurting much of the state is cost of fuel. The apparent problem is a lack of refining capacity. Idea: Build a refinery that primarily supports the state of Oklahoma. Since the cost of a refinery is very costly, it can only be undertaken by either large oil or a large enough body of individuals to pay the cost. If organized and protected by the state and state law, Offered to the public to purchase shares (limited by percentage of ownership to preclude big business from monopolizing), and ultimately required to be sold to and managed by public ownership. Provides: Lower gas cost year round. Allows existing refineries to sell to adjacent states and bring in revenue, provides more jobs for Oklahomans.
