New England Urges End to Oil Import Controls
A proposed Machiasport Maine refinery could add 90 000 barrels daily of No 2 home heating oil, easing a potential winter shortage in six states. NEFI president Robert DeBlois told a Senate subcommittee that import quotas raise refined oil costs and misallocate resources while hindering consumer interests. Senator Hruska countered the logistics view, noting Gulf Coast capacity and a 20 day supply, as Easley of NE Council argued the quotas waste billions and hinder efficiency.
