Rick Jackson on Energy & Oil

 

 


More local oil refineries: costs less without shipping

Rick Jackson disclosed at a campaign event in March that he is "the largest outside investor" in a Texas oil refinery project. "We're going to sell our oil. We're going to do over like 100,000 barrels a day, and that gives us more ability to do it ourselves. It costs less. We don't have to ship it all over the place," Jackson said.

Jackson's investment in the project in Brownsville was announced by President Donald Trump in March. "We just got--and it is the first oil refinery in the United States in the last 50 years that's going to turn on. We just got a commitment from Cantor, a brokerage firm, to take the company public at a valuation of $2 billion. We own 15 percent of that," Jackson said.

Ahead of Kemp's move suspending the state gas tax, Jackson several weeks earlier suggested a similar move: He proposed automatically suspending Georgia's gas tax when prices increase 35 cents within seven days, or 75 cents within 30 days in the event of war or a natural disaster.
