There’s petroleum deposits under Lake Michigan…
There is oil downstate. Is that oil refined in Robinson IL? Hell no! Illinois producers must pay marathon (who owns the refinery) to pipe the oil to Ohio to be refined. The Robinson refinery imports oil from Saudi Arabia.

Climate Cultists is a better description. They’re all NUTZ!
