Oh - they could. However, it comes down to a simple cost benefit analysis. Does the cost of expanding or developing new refining capability overwhelm the benefits to their bottom line? Being that they are a corporation that wants to make money, the answer is clearly no. Part of that is government regulation.

If they could make more money doing it, you bet they would.
