Shell, Saudi Aramco JV complete 5-year Texas refinery expansion; 600,000 barrels per day, US’ largest

Motiva, the joint venture between Shell and Saudi Aramco, marked the completion of a five-year construction project that more than doubled the daily processing capacity of the Motiva Refinery in Port Arthur, Texas to 600,000 barrels of crude. (Earlier post.) Motiva Port Arthur now ranks as the US’ largest refinery and one of the largest in the world.

Motiva’s marketing operations support a network of approximately 8,300 Shell-branded gasoline stations in the eastern and southern United States. Company assets include three refineries located in Norco and Convent, LA., as well as Port Arthur, Texas, which are currently capable of refining more than 1 million barrels of crude oil per day. Motiva also has ownership or partial interests in 38 product terminals.

You can be sure Barry isn't signing off on projects like this, or we'd be hearing about them.

He and his EPA probably did everything possible to stop it.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Doubled capacity to 600,000 barrels per day.

We use about 21,000,000 barrels a day so that's about a 1.425% increase in our daily needs.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
