Katrina May Spur Oil Refinery Construction?

The Big Easy is getting the snot beat out of it right now by Hurricane Katrina. This had been predicted for years since Narlens is 10 feet below sea level. A huge disaster that could ripple for years. God be those still in the city trying to ride this beast out.

However, in addition to hosting the Mardi Gras and the Superdome, Louisiana also hosts a good chunk of our oil production. As Hugh Hewitt said, "4 dollar gas anyone?" Today the Chuckster (Shumer) had a brilliant revelation that Bush should release the Strategic Reserve. That's downright Einsteinian, that is Senator. Where's it gonna go?? The refinery capacity of this country has declined in the past few decades and still ain't a popular industry with parts of your constituency. Bush had this problem pegged months ago, of course you won't hear that now from the MSM. I'm predicting what you will hear is that America caused Hurricane Katrina via global warming via all our SUVs and Hummers running around out there.
