Well, at least Valero (VLO +0.61%) is putting its money where its mouth is. After recently announcing that it was against easing regulations agains crude oil exports from the U.S., the company recently unveiled plans to spend more than $700 million to increase its refining capacity for light cruudes coming out of the Eagle Ford Shale by 160,000 barrels per day.
