Yes, California’s Anti-Fossil-Fuel Policies Are Pushing Oil Refineries Away
by Linnea Lueken  Oct 22, 2024 

A recent article posted by The Epoch Times, “Phillips 66 to Close Los Angeles Oil Refinery,” explains how Phillips 66 is shutting down one of its refineries in response to uncertainty and “market dynamics;” uncertain dynamics created by the state’s climate and energy policies. [emphasis, links added]

This is true.


California’s government is actively hostile toward anything related to oil and gas, so refineries shutting down should not come as a surprise.

Epoch reports that “Phillips 66 said on Oct. 16 that it plans to shut down its refinery in the Los Angeles area of California in the fourth quarter of 2025.”

CEO Mark Lashier released a statement explaining that uncertainty and “market dynamics” affected their confidence in the long-term “sustainability” of the plant and were responsible for Phillips 66 choosing the site for closure.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The college professors at UCal Berkley would disagree.

They don't have enough right now so are purchasing electricity from Arizona.


And a lot of the crude comes from foreign sources, in spite of California possessing 4 of the top 10 fields ever discovered in the lower 48
