Joe Barton Adverse Quotations

We cannot stop hurricanes, but we can mitigate some of these adverse impacts on our energy infrastructure and our economy that hurricanes can have. We need to tackle this problem for one simple reason: Our country needs more oil refineries because the people who work for a living need gasoline to get to work.

More refineries will result in more domestic production of gasoline. We cannot stop hurricanes but we can mitigate some of the adverse impacts.
