Hey, I'm doing well, Glenn.
How are you?
Great to be here.
Well, we do have a new light sweet crude refinery planned to be built in South Texas.
It'll be the first new refinery built in the US in over 50 years.
But it does take a few years to build.
So it won't impact gasoline or diesel prices in the near term.
But it's a hugely positive message to the market that a new refinery is coming, tuned exactly for the kind of crude we're producing in South Texas and the Permian Basin of West Texas.
It'll be a great new addition.
We are.
And Glenn, relative to everyone else, we're in the best shape of any country in the world.
We are a meaningful net exporter of oil, a meaningful net exporter of diesel and jet fuel.
But we actually import gasoline because the United States consumes a greater percent of our oil in the form of gasoline than the rest of the world.
So we do have trade with the world, but we are a meaningful net exporter.
Our refineries are running at record high output right now.
Yeah, I'm frustrated, as is the president.
The gasoline prices are higher than we'd like, but they're still a dollar a gallon cheaper than they were four years ago during the Biden administration when there wasn't an interruption of energy flows around the world.
So it may not feel great, but we're doing well given the circumstances.
And I'm proud of our president standing up to Iran and ending just an emerging threat to the world with Iran's race to nuclear weapons.
So thank God we have it and we are releasing oil, which is helping our refiners meaningfully.
