Spread the wealth, Promises for others

I would like to express my thought , for what it's worth ,on the oil shale in the northern border region of the country ,i have no idea about the specific area .Which is why i guess maybe i see a strange problem about the way that it is going to be resourced out to oil company's on the gulf coast to refinery's that are out of date. As i understand it there have been no new refinery's build in years why can't a new one be built next to the resource . Wouldn't that be smarter than pushing it clear across country to old refining stations that have to be upgraded anyway . Being closer to the resource would change the dynamic wouldn't it, there wouldn't just be one oil center for dispersal and refinement, there would be more jobs for the local economy less chance of shut downs due to weather, which in only 1 area can be blamed on cost increases which are naturally passed on to the public. But by having two separate widely spaced, 1 new and with the latest updates,and one on a different coast would seem to be safer,for the national security,the economy as a whole,and the local work force, a boost to the tax revenue in the region, plus protecting the Aqua fer. How many pluses does the local,state,and national government need, isn't the Federal Government for the best for all / most of the people not just the few rich .We are stronger as nation by our diversity and expanding our horizons not by centralizing our resources in one economy or area.    Keywords; Diversify,  Decentralize, Northern tax and Revenue , Safety .
