Multiple Oil Refinery Closures Deal Blow to Blue State
 
Gas prices in California are projected to exceed $8 per gallon by the end of 2026. A study from Professor Michael A. Mische at USC’s Marshall School of Business forecasts regular gasoline prices will range from $7.35 to $8.43 per gallon.

Central to the increase are the closures of Phillips 66 and Valero oil refineries. Phillips 66 will close its Los Angeles-area refinery by October 2025. Valero plans to idle or shut down its Benicia refinery by April 2026.
 
California Governor Gavin Newsom stated, “California won’t bend the knee to a federal administration hellbent on making America polluted again.” He added, “We’re going to make polluters pay for solutions to the climate crisis they helped create — including CAL FIRE’s world class fire protection and prevention operations and holding the line on high-speed rail, providing a stable source of funding critical to delivering this project.”

Newsom added, “We will do all of this while continuing to get money directly back to people’s wallets – making $60 billion available to help Californians with their utility bills.”

The reduction could result in a daily loss of up to 13.1 million gallons of gasoline. Mische claimed disruptions in refinery production would not align with the drop in demand.

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

In the twisted mind of libs, one must return to caveman days of using nothing but wood to heat and cook with in order to save what they say 'May' happen to the world.

Can't cook with wood ... pollutes air, kills trees, puts carbon into the atmospshere.  Need to eat that tofu, seaweed, or that industrial pea slurry raw ... like the California cavemen did.
