Once upon a time a big fight broke out over a Pittston proposal (Brinks is one of their divisions) to build a refinery in Eastport, Maine across the way from Campobello Island, NB, Canada, in some of the highest tides in the world, at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. They were defeated, however, it seems odd, in retrospect, that there has been a shortage of refineries built in the US since. A spoiled industry holding its breath until there's only too few crew on its tankers and a fourth mate is at the helm, like the Exxon Valdez heading for the Bligh Reef in Alaska? What are we now run by "little" bullies?
The Congressman from the area of Pennsylvania where oil was originally struck (though an "Oil Springs" has been known in New York State since the early 17th century) has the best idea, and there's much natural gas waiting to be discovered just off our eastern US shore. Might stop a methane eruption and tsunami even. Bush Won't Make Gas Prices Forecast - Couric & Co.
