The Gulf Coast state has two existing refineries whose stakeholders include foreign oil companies - one from Venezuela and the other Saudi Arabia.
In an interview Revetted said "What we're interested in doing is seeing a refinery built in the US...Of course if one is going to be built, we'd like to see it built in Louisiana. We think it's the best place, essentially the place that a refinery can be built the quickest".
He said sugar cane farms could be used to site a refinery because they are situated near rivers, pipelines and rail lines
