Because in the late 90s the oil companies shut down a lot of refinaries and also "forced" out some smaller companies so that they could gain more profit.. Not that they could get a profit, but that they could earn MORE profit.. Now they say they're running at or close to maximum and want government handouts to build some new ones...
