It's not so much the upgrade of refineries that we need as it is a need for NEW (additional) refineries. The last refinery built in the U.S. was built in the MID 70's!!! I seriously doubt we'll see any new ones built though, thanks partly to the associated cost, and partly to the tree-hugger enviro-loons that spout doom and gloom every time there is talk of drilling/refining. JaTo was dead on the money about refining being the bottleneck.
