World's Largest Refineries

Seriously, those of you who think the price of gas is somehow being manipulated have just got to look at the refining capacity here in the US. Heck, we're the world's largest economy and consumer of oil, you'd think we'd have the largest refinery here.

Nope. India and Venezuela. Heck, Singapore has a larger refinery than we do. Again, it's economics, it's not that hard people.

I am thinking that these other nations have a far lower number of NIMBYs than the United States when it comes to building things such as refineries and, I don't know, nuclear power plants. If there's a chart showing that statistic, please show it if possible.
