He's head of the Dept. of Energy....and has his foot firmly planted on the throats of the onerous EPA, imho.

Former Gov. Perry (R. TX) is the nominee for Secretary of Energy and Scott Pruitt is head of EPA (confirmed by Congress already). MMEX does not need federal "permission" to build the refinery. Because it is 50,000 BPD (considered small) the United States has delegated its permitting authority to the States. I'm pretty sure Texas will be OK with the refinery.
