its not smart to build a refinery. big oil and the powerful refineries lobbied government to set it up so they had a lot of government protectionism to impede competition (people say big oil is an example of capitalism ) ..

so the incentive to make refineries no longer exist and the companies that already have them had the laws set in place so they wouldn't have to worry about competition.
