Huge tax breaks is entirely relative to already heavy taxes levied against them. If I take all of your income in taxes, but then give you 10% back, should that be called a huge tax break?

The lack of refineries and prices are, as another poster said, largely the result of the environmental movement. Not saying that's all bad, but we're paying for it.
