I corresponded with Richard Branson once on the world wide web, it was a long time ago and the fuel prices rose to very high levels, and they were blaming a lack of refineries for the reason why the gas prices were so high.
So, Richard Branson wanted to open a refinery to help to address the crisis, and he owned his airlines, etc, so it was important for him.
Part of the reason why there was a shortage of refineries was because Americans were blocking the new refineries from being built, to protect the environment, etc, etc, etc, the USA was not allowing new refineries to be built.
So, I told Richard Branson to build his new oil refinery in Mexico. My Grandmother opened Gold mines in Mexico, and the people of Mexico loved her, and she helped to bring roads, running water, electricity, etc, to some very poor parts of Mexico, and the Mexicans loved her. If you go into Mexico and spread the wealth, then they will love you. If you go in and create jobs and prosperity in a poor part of Mexico, then they will love you, and they would really appreciate having a refinery and the jobs and money created by it, etc.
Richard Branson responded to my email, and he thanked me for writing to him. He seems like a very cool guy.
Salute,
Tony V.
