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?
