So Doc, in your opinion, this move by the Trump administration, is this going to reduce the price of diesel?

I guess, yes, usually I'm somewhat cynical that it will have any meaningful effect.

It certainly theoretically should have a little effect, but we're not talking about a lot of volume, number one, in the world market.

The market's down about 3 million barrels a day.

So we're trying to help solve the problem for the world because it helps solve the problem for ourselves.

But what you have to consider is that the world is short of refining capacity and we didn't get into that position just because of two wars.

And as you just outlined, what we're not willing to do here as it relates to production for a whole host of ideological and political reasons, um, we-- in many respects, we have no one to blame but ourselves, right?
