Australia’s push to build a new oil refinery in Western Australia is sparking fierce debate, with experts warning it’s a costly misstep in a world racing toward clean energy. A $4 million study is underway, but critics call it “dinosaur technology,” arguing the refinery would likely need massive government subsidies to survive, especially against global competitors. With domestic oil production plummeting and expected to vanish in seven years, the project would mostly refine imported oil — undermining fuel independence. Six of eight refineries have already closed since 2003, and experts say the money would be better spent on next-gen zero-emission fuels, not clinging to outdated infrastructure.
