      There is no such thing as “for sure completely knocked out”. If nothing else, you can build a completely new facility on the same plot of land. And that would be “the facility having been repaired”. Ukraine is damaging the facilities so that they are off for long enough. And currently it seems that the percentage of Russian oil refinery capacity off line is growing slowly but steadily.

      It costs money keeping them off line, but it costs tenfold or hundredfold that much to get them back online. It’s a sensible deal!

        I mean yeah. I didn’t intend to sound unimpressed, I was referring to the tiny asterisk at the bottom of the graphic. I want that factoid about total production to be true, is all.

        Expensive damage is good, but if the lack of production can cause logistical issues, that would be even more expensive
