Rough energy news for California
By Craig Rucker |August 5th, 2020

Californians just received terrible news.

Marathon Martinez, one of their major refineries, announced that it will go idle indefinitely. This will cost the Golden State thousands of jobs and hamper its economic recovery.

Diablo Canyon, a big supplier of California's electricity - something like 9%, is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024.

Expect the price of electricity to continue to skyrocket there...
