Modern Society Runs on Refined Oil Products. Can California Keep Ignoring Reality?
3 hours ago Guest Blogger

The supply chain for transportation fuels and many everyday products depend on refinery manufacturers that refine crude oil.

An energy “REALITY” reminder is that crude oil by itself is useless black tar, unless you build a multi-billion-dollar refinery to break it down to produce various types of transportation fuels, and oil derivatives that are the basis of the products in our materialistic world.

Without refineries to manufacture that useless black tar that we call crude oil, into usable transportation fuels and oil derivatives that are the basis of more than 6,000 products in our daily lives, we’re back to the 1800’s.

Why are the California “users” of the products and transportation fuels made from crude oil,

and the politicians who hate the guts of in-state refineries, want to drive them out of business?

Of course they can   -    AND WILL.  They'll support anything that goes against reality. :headbang:

Migosh, I was going to begin this reply with

"Of course they can...
And they will..."
(then I scrolled down)

Meanwhile ...

This is Barack Obama’s Ivanpah Solar Electric Power Plant

It a failed power plant that was set to close operations early 2026 after:

- $1.6 BILLION in federal loans
- $535 MILLION grant
- $600 MILLION tax credit
- MASSIVE investor write-offs

But that shutdown has been rejected and it was decided the plant must keep operating. Which means taxpayers will pay roughly $105 million in extra costs passed on to California ratepayers for overpriced power compared to cheaper modern alternatives ...

I could care less about the poor saps in Caliphate USA.  We just hit  3.39 a gal today.  Should be 2.99 by the 4th.
